Hi Pam
I just clicked on the link and it went straight in.
Must be a problem at your end

Hi Pam,
Sorry you couldn't get into the links.
Don't know why, it seems alright now. What I am doing with the links is leaving them as separate threads until they get pushed off the front page of the forum, then merging them into the Links Thread. I am doing this for the Common Room links and the Beginners links.
Kazza.

The National Archives, an excellent site, puts out a monthly newsletter that has some very interesting articles. This month there is a section regarding difficult-to-read old writing. I found this article to be very helpful and thought others might also find it useful when trying to read old documents.

Here are three good sites from which to learn how to decipher Old Handwriting.
