Testimonials

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
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.
Lynne, 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
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
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
Katherine’s devotion to her craft shows throughout her website and in her work. She transcribed and translated some mid-1700’s handwritten documents about my ancestors, and deciphered a real puzzle of a word along the way.

Katherine is also very professional in the ‘project management’ aspects of reaching agreement on the…
Steve, Family Historian
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
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
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
I hired Katherine to translate German Script from the 18th & 19th centuries. I wanted to include the translations in a family history document. She responded quickly to my emails and was more than willing to answer the many questions I had both prior to and after the translation. Katherine provided both English and German translations of this very difficult to read script. She included footnotes and historical website links that added greatly to my understanding of some of the terms used in the…
