TESTIMONIALS
Be my next happy client!
Mihály Kálmán (...) has translated numerous historical family documents for me from Yiddish to English, including diaries, letters and official correspondence. He is highly professional, fast and reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend his work.
Roz Bellamy, author, researcher, and editor
Mihály translated a long letter from my great-grandmother in handwritten Yiddish to English. My family was so impressed with Mihály's work, from the quick turnaround to the detailed footnotes. This translation was an invaluable step in further understanding our family history. Thank you, Mihály!
Caroline J. Wallis, author of a family history book
I was also exceedingly fortunate to receive a great deal of assistance from Dr. Mihály Kálmán. Mihály’s fluency in Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian, and Ukrainian proved to be indispensable in translating Gildenman’s writings, which were mostly in Yiddish, but would often use terms borrowed from Hebrew, Russian, and Ukrainian (...) Mihály’s expertise was essential in every stage of this project.

Quick and solid work on translating a Yiddish song, including providing the Yiddish writing, romanization, and English translation. Thanks a lot!

You're such a good literary translator of Yiddish ... why don't you make a career of translating Vilne Yiddish literature into English?

How fascinating!!!!! The matchmaker thing is so "fiddler on the roof." (...) I printed out your pages and I just read them and re-read them...

"Mihaly is an incredibly talented genealogy expert. I was perplexed with his level of insight and research abilities. I would highly recommend him!"
"Mihaly's expertise is matched by his effortless communication style and professional customer service. Great work on the assignment (compliance required me to have it independently verified and it was terrific.) Mihaly's cooperative nature in each and every communiqué made it clear he's a helpful team player. Wish there were 10 stars to give - he's a 10/10. Thanks Mihaly!"
"Excellent insight and vast knowledge. Prompt response and timely completion."
