Katherine 8217 tips on how to translate old
German script has been invaluable to my family
research. Using her suggestions I have been able
to decipher birth and death records from my
3
great-great grandfather 8217 family in Austria!
From helpful websites to playing 8216 hangman
8217 , the suggestions she presents have expanded
my family research capabilities not only in
German, but with other languages as well! - D.
Thalner Katherine 8217 tips on deciphering German
script has handed me the key to unlocking
documents from my past. Through her tips on
interchanging letters, I realized that the death
certificate I thought was for my great uncle Karl
was actually that of a more distant relative
called Paul. The two names look almost identical
in the German handwritten script! Thanks to
Katherine, I stopped following the wrong branch
of the family tree. - C. Thornthwaite Not being
able to read, translate or write in Old German, I
found Katherine's tips helpful in finding
which words were most often used in old German
documents. The clues as how to tell similar
letters apart helped me tremendously. - G. Scholl
The author's writing style makes it easy to
understand and use her tricks and tips. Her
articles are not about what she can do, but what
anybody can do. - G. Haas The articles have been
an excellent resource in helping me apply the
author's knowledge of German surname consonant
variations in my German genealogy research. - L.
Erdman Katherine Schober's skill at translation
of German script was very helpful for me as a
professional genealogist working through German
church information for my clients. Her writings
on how to decipher German records have been a
valuable resource as I review German birth and
marriage records from the 19th century. -
