Dave,
The confirmation certificate is just a picture of the inside of the church with her name & date of confirmation, no more information.
From your translation of the birth certificate it would appear that Emilie Anna Gerda Kliszcz was born illegitimately & her mother was a housekeeper. The family story was that Emilie was told that she was adopted in 1930 when she was 8 years old by complete strangers & never saw her parents again so maybe she knew her father. She always wanted to know why she was adopted. I have a copy of some information about her adoption that appears to be in 1933, but again I can't translate it. If I post a copy do you think that you could see if there is any more information.
Best regards,
Jac
