Still translating! Actually a very good source book of examples of different styles of english handwriting. Very useful for reading difficult texts like wills, various birth, death and marriage certificates or original source documents like manorial records. Helps you make out the various letters and styles that were used in the different centuries eg copperplate in the Victorian Era. I would happily recommend this book as a reference work for family historians as it will definitely help find those lost ancestors!

A good guide to the English Handwriting, very easy to understand. I bought it as a guide for use in family history research and genealogy. It has proved invaluable for deciphering some difficult victorian handwriting!

This small book, written some years ago, is a very good guide to interpreting old documents. I bought this copy recently to replace a well-used previous copy. The images are clear and easy to work from. The documents provide some insights into the lives of ordinary people in earlier times. The examples of Church Wardens accounts show clearly the kinds of problems the faced and how they used the money the Church had collected.
