Katherine transcribed several handwritten German documents dating from the Second World War for me, and it was truly a pleasure to work with her. Thanks to her skill in deciphering the texts, I’ve learned a great deal about my family history, and she was particularly thorough in researching the places and names included in the text. Katherine is professional and resourceful with a great eye for detail – exactly as a good translator should be – and I would not hesitate in recommending her.
“Excellent presenter, super helpful info. Entertaining and informative. Loved the examples. Loved the “test” at the end.”
I am stunned what Katherine was able to translate from some civil war-era family letters due to the poor letter quality. I didn’t think it could be done. Katherine dedicates herself to your project like it’s her own family. I am grateful that I found her and her work will have an impact on my family for generations to come.
“5 stars! Zher Gut! Absolutely the best session so far I have attended.”
So happy to finally receive a translation!! You don’t know how hard and long I tried to find someone capable. The places named in the letter will be so helpful in my genealogy search.
“If you are looking for a presenter for an upcoming meeting for your genealogical society, Katherine Schober is an excellent choice.

“Great communication skills, engaging and went over important details and info. Slides were excellent.”
“She was engaging in her presentation; very knowledgable about her topic, easy to follow, gave a lot of good information and examples. She has been my favorite speaker for Wednesday and Thursday.”
Thank you for getting the translation to me. As I expected, they are perfect. You can always tell that the translation is done by a professional.
I hired Katherine to translate German Script from the 18th & 19th centuries. I wanted to include the translations in a family history document. She responded quickly to my emails and was more than willing to answer the many questions I had both prior to and after the translation. Katherine provided both English and German translations of this very difficult to read script. She included footnotes and historical website links that added greatly to my understanding of some of the terms used in the …
