This webinar was amazing, and I agree with other reviewers that it is worth the cost of the year's subscription. I have been avoiding delving into the records of my German ancestors, but now I can do so with confidence. Please invite Katherine back!

I agree with the other viewer who said this webinar was worth the year's subscription. This webinar was perfect for me.
Superb. She is very clear, humourous, playful with her tips on how to read specific letters - and her handout is simply excellent. I'm very inspired to dig further into my 1700s German ancestors who came to PA!
Her expertise as a teacher/presenter keeps becoming better and better. I've heard her teach on Germanology.org several times. K, is alwas a learning experience
This was such a fun and informative webinar! Thank you so much for sharing with us this morning. I can't wait to dive back into the German records with a fresh set of eyes and some new tips.
Absolutely the best presentation on German handwriting I have ever seen. The examples and explanations were very easy to understand. I feel confident I'll be able to transcribe German documents with much more accuracy and much less effort. THANK YOU!
Katherine always shares well-organized, insightful information that instantly enables me to learn more about my German heritage. Another great presentation!
