Testimonials

Her knowledge of the German language, written and oral, is very remarkable and impressive.
Sonja, WRG Salzburg Instructor
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…
Mike, on a Christmas Translation Present for his Wife
It was a pleasure working with you Katherine.  I appreciated your rapid response to my requests.  The German and English versions of all the documents were perfectly formatted down to the tiny letters on the bottom of the pre-printed baptismal certificate which identified the printer.  Thank you.
Sherry, Family Historian
My German in-laws would not say one word about the past, however when they both passed away, we found two huge boxes of letters, journals, and pictures that documented every day of WWII for them. We also found 100 years of old family documents to prove they were Aryan in accordance with the Nuremburg Laws.  For the last ten years, we have figured there was one person in the family history who had converted from Judaism and that person had saved those who came after from certain death, but we cou…
Chris K.
Great job. You have unlocked a mystery.The relationship between Ignatz and Mathaus was unclear until now. Thanks.
Bud, Family Historian
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.
Yulia, American Historical Society of Germans from Russia
Thank you so much for the translation! Now I have the names of three of my paternal grandfather’s grandparents. This is the “brick wall” I’ve been trying to break through for a long time…many thanks for your prompt and professional work.
Carla, Family Historian
I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for accurate, expeditious, and highly professional translations. Katherine went the extra mile to ensure an accurate translation of my German university records. She even contacted my educational institution in Germany to ensure the proper interpretation of obscure abbreviations throughout the document. Stellar work.
Jeanie, Graduate School Applicant
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.
Susanna, Austrian Master's Degree Student
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 additional …
