Testimonials

Just got home to find this treat in my inbox. I am thrilled to read the words my [ancestor] Christopher read; that he felt deeply enough to quote. Great job on the translation.    
Susan, on Translation of 1773 Poem Quoted by her Ancestor
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
Thank you so much for doing my translation, I am thrilled to pieces and this afternoon I am going to send it off to all the family here in England and in Germany.  How you translated that writing I just don’t know, but I suppose if you study languages it perhaps becomes a little easier!  Many thanks again, I am so delighted.  And isn’t it interesting!
Susan, Family Historian
Her knowledge of the German language, written and oral, is very remarkable and impressive.
Sonja, WRG Salzburg Instructor
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 …
Deb Thalner - Family history enthusiast
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
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
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. 
Carol, French and German Translator
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 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
