decipher script in hard-to-read records. Get tips at www.familytreemagazine.com/records/documentary-evidence.
Reading old handwriting or even my own handwriting can be challenging. I like to transcribe all documents, especially those with hard to read handwriting, so that I don’t have to keep trying to make out the document every time I review it. After the first time, I can refer my transcription, however you always want the original to reference, in case you think you made a mistake in the transcription.
Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
