A Few Pointers on Reading old Records. . .
Sample 1: A Parish Register Entry ca. 1715
Sample 2: A page from the Court of the Dean & Chapter of York Probate Index, 1694 - 1746
No less than ten scribes contributed to this single page, over a fifty year period.
Sample 3: A 1625 Will
First print out this page of comments.
Then view the jpeg of the will and try to transcribe it yourself.
Then view my version of it (for what my version is worth!)
