Katherine was instrumental in helping me give my wife—her words—“the best gift she has ever gotten.” For forty years, she has had copies of letters to and from her beloved grandmother and her siblings handwritten in German. Katherine translated the letters beautifully, providing us with both the German and English digital files. She was always responsive in our communications and met challenging time deadlines so that I could give my wife the letters as a Christmas present. Her fees were…
“She knew her topic and presented it in a manner I could understand. Her presentation was above and beyond my expectations.”
“Great communication skills, engaging and went over important details and info. Slides were excellent.”

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 …
Great job. You have unlocked a mystery. The relationship between Ignatz and Mathaus was unclear until now. Thanks.
“She’s an awesome teacher about a difficult subject. I only wish she could have given an advanced class.”
“If you are looking for a presenter for an upcoming meeting for your genealogical society, Katherine Schober is an excellent choice. She spoke to our German Interest Group on the subject of “Tips and Tricks of Deciphering Old German Handwriting.” Her material was top notch and her visuals were well done. She presented in such a way as to engage both the beginners and the more advanced German researchers in our group. The feedback from our German Interest Group members has been very…
