This person's "c"s look like "e"s and their "n" looks like a "u" or a "v" to me in this small sample.<br /><br />Also, sometimes when I write something quickly, occasionally it looks sorta odd, if that makes any sense. One or more letters might look strange, etc.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213959117569659755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-43039183569409244592012-07-25T16:21:09.247-05:002012-07-25T16:21:09.247-05:00LOL pick a tip number to fit the mood.

I think that sometimes some are too tempted to read things literally. Handwriting was purported to be an art and the reading of it sometimes is as well. If you don't mind, I might use your comment as the gist for another tip, maybe #316?Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116684507094892060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-76978469578515042212012-07-25T10:16:39.966-05:002012-07-25T10:16:39.966-05:00This is #317 on the Genealogy Tip List: It's f...This is #317 on the Genealogy Tip List: It's far more logical to attribute hard-to-read words to sloppy handwriting and the mechanics of older pens than to think all these clerical professionals didn't know how to spell.
