Outstanding introduction to Germany research. Step-by-step methods using online resources outlined in the handout.
Easy to understand. Good site information
Her knowledge of her subject is just phenomenal!!!
Very interesting presentation and lots of directions to find ancestors through informative records in Germany with websites. Included understanding the German alphabetic letters with book references.
Well organized, well paced, positive, warm voice, easy to listen to, a lot of information, thank you for sharing your expertise!! Many thanks from someone who was also raised in St. Louis!
It was with fear and trepidation that made me not want to attack finding my ancestors in Germany. Katherine has relieved me of that and showed me step-by-step how I can utilize a wide array of sources already in the U.S. to begin. I’ll sleep better tonight!
Very clear understandable instruction. It was really well organized and presented. Thank you Katherine. I’m going to be busy searching for awhile.
This was very informative and makes German research less daunting. I am looking forward to going more into my German lines and finding out more with the tools I learned today. Melody Knight
