From helpful websites to playing 'hangman', the suggestions she presents have expanded my family research capabilities not only in German, but with other languages as well!" - D. Thalner "Katherine's 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.

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.
