Please tell me whether the following syllogism is formally valid or invalid:

Emily is the mother of Sam.
Sam is a fireman.
Emily is the mother of a fireman.

Then, please tell me whether the following syllogism is formally valid or invalid.

Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God.
Mary is the mother of God.

That’s two yes-or-no questions.
