Deciphering old German writing in ancestor paperwork

  I have a copy of my great grandmothers marriage certificate. I am fluent in the German language, but when it comes to reading old German then that is a whole other story. I had to ask my mom and aunt for help in figuring out what the documents said. Marriage certificate:   I think the marriage certificate says Helene Berta Frieda Matthes born: Ponce. lives in Berlin Born June 10, 1902 in Falkenburg, Kreis Dromburg Falkenburg Wednesday 20th of August, 1933 (Berlin-Mitte) My great grandmothers name was Helene Schramke born: Ponce. My grandfather always said that she was french. My grandfather was born in Berlin and that is where his parents married.  Alphabet chart: Helpful links: Writing generator
