What the Heck Does That Say?: The Challenge of Difficult Handwriting
Presentation by Pam Vestal (virtually)
Monday, 9 Jan 2023 @ 2pm EST
One of the biggest hurdles to overcome in genealogy is the seemingly illegible handwriting in our ancestors’ records. Whether you struggle to navigate colonial penmanship that doesn’t even look like English or wrestle with contemporary documents that are poorly written, a few good strategies can make all the difference. We’ll look at more than 20 techniques to help you figure out what the chicken scratches on the page say as well as what the style of writing might reveal about our ancestors.
