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
