Testimonials

I asked Katherine to transcribe and translate a baptismal record written in Old German script from 1828 about my Great, Great Grandfather. We had hit a brick wall in our Erkenbrecher genealogy and we just couldn’t find where or who our relatives were in Germany. Katherine did an excellent job of translating this document which divulged the parents of our GG Grandfather. Because of this finding, I have been able to go back eight generations in our Erkenbrecher family tree, all the way back to Hei… Read more
C. Erkenbrecher
Great job. You have unlocked a mystery.The relationship between Ignatz and Mathaus was unclear until now. Thanks.
Bud, Family Historian
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.
John, 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
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. … Read more
Carol, French and German Translator
Thank you for a great job! I am very impressed that you could read, never mind translate, her writing. Very professional and much appreciated! I will have it bound and send copies to my cousins. I should mention too that the footnotes you provided were very helpful and beyond what I  expected.
Chuck, on Translation of Grandmother's Diary
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
She has ample knowledge of the German and English languages and a very good command of technical terminology and a great feel for language. She is very reliable and can also translate very large volumes of words and still meet her deadlines. Without any reservation, I am glad to highly recommend Katherine for any German into English and English into German project.
Professor Thomas Ertl, University of Vienna Historian and Professor
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… Read more
Chris K.
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 … Read more
