I enthusiastically recommend Katherine for your translation needs! She is professional, courteous, timely, and very pleasant to work with. She responds promptly to emails, and meets the deadlines she establishes for the translations. I had asked her to translate some 1800 era Austrian church records in handwritten script, the quality of which was not always the best. She came through with not only the English translations, but the German transcriptions as well. Her footnotes and additi…

Because the letter was handwritten and in German, it was impossible for me to make out many of the letters/words; therefore, I looked for a way to get it translated.

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.
Her knowledge of the German language, written and oral, is very remarkable and impressive.

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…
I can highly recommend the work of Katherine. I used her services to proofread my master thesis and the result greatly benefited from her thorough and detailed checking. Her feedback and comments were very constructive and extremely helpful. Moreover, the work was done timely and she responds to questions quickly. I will definitely use her services again.
“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…
“She’s an awesome teacher about a difficult subject. I only wish she could have given an advanced class.”
