Hello, I have found wills for two potential ancestors of mine, who died in 1580 and 1618. I am making some progress with the first will, with a site called paleo-Norman that has a period alphabet page. It is still difficult. Does anyone have suggestions on paleography resources to assist? Please let me know. Cheers, Tony Vernon
