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!

Since the majority of my ancestors were German, Katherine's webinar will be very helpful in deciphering that old handwriting. I also have a copy of Katherine's book "Tips and Tricks for Deciphering German Handwriting." Great job!
Super webinar! Very helpful, and I look forward to using the tips.
Very clear and informative. The website tips are extremely helpful and will be used going forward.
