“Katherine presented an engaging program about researching German ancestry at the public library in Andover, MA.  She drew a large crowd and held their attention with her deep knowledge of German history and  culture.  Her genuine enthusiasm for researching German ancestry and deciphering old handwritten German documents is what made her presentation so enjoyable. I’ve had several patrons request that I invite her back.”

“Katherine’s advice on websites and other resources for getting started in German genealogy was straightforward and very helpful in targeting the most useful places to begin your search.  Likewise, she provided numerous tips, tricks and shortcuts for deciphering that difficult German handwriting with lots of instructive class exercises.”

“Amazing!!!!! Well spoken and a wealth of knowledge.”

“She’s an awesome teacher about a difficult subject. I only wish she could have given an advanced class.”

“With a lack of robust German census records available to most researchers, it’s nice to take a look at alternative records. Genealogy researcher and translator Katherine Schober has uploaded a fantastic video appropriate for beginning and intermediate genealogists online for free. She’s a great presenter, and I hope she updates her YouTube page with more videos in the future!”

“Katherine’s presentation was ultimately the most informative of all the sessions I’ve been to today! I’ve been struggling with being able to decipher all the German records that I’ve been looking at, and now I understand many of the words & abbreviations of those words!”

“Katherine is one of the BEST presenters!!!”
