    Marriage Certificate-Morris Forman and Sarah Katzen
    Marriage Certificate-Morris Forman and Sarah Katzen
    This is the marriage certificate of Morris Forman and Sarah Katzen. It was filed on June 6, 1919. It appears that they were then married on June 8, 1919. On this certificate, it states Sarah's name as Sylvia Forman. Throughout my life, I had never ever known her as Sylvia, nor did any of her relatives or friends refer to her as Sylvia. It must have been a clerical error? Or were they never legally married???? Then this means that there is certainly a great deal of illegitimacy within this family tree!!
