1) How old was she when converting – under 12 or over 12 years old?

Over 12. I believe she was 16.

2) Was she converted through an Orthodox Rabbi? If so, which Rabbi?

Not sure, though I imagine that because she converted 30+ years ago it is likely that it would have been an Orthodox/traditional rabbi. Maybe I shouldn’t draw this conclusion however.

Another similar question question: My family is “non-affiliated” with any “branch” of Judaism however I know from experience that there are plenty of children of intermarriage who are raised believing they are Jewish when halakhically they are not. What is their status? Also, does having a Jewish father affect this status? Thanks.
