Louise, If you can scan the certificate send it to me as a jpg file (use my wanadoo address is this seems to be the most reliable at the moment) and I will upload the scan to Digital View for you so people can look. Regarding the lack of fathers' names once you get the name of the Synagogue you could try for an authorisation which will have the patronymic.

Thank you Sherry, I will aply for an authorisation. She seems to give a different father at each of her three marriages. Best wishes, Louise
