It took me half a day to get the computer 'reconfigured' and now I've got it! What a treat; wonderful learning experience to look forward to and no excuse now for stalling over those old wills.

Excellent site for those of us who transcribe olde willes. (G) I also have Eve's book and a couple of handouts from a genie prof I know. And then there is a website that I haven't tried yet....... But apparently the #1 site for learning Court Hand and other olde styles of writing is right here at the University of Toronto........they have a course in it. Should get off my 'duff' and go take one. I got the OK to view the website and then forgot about it......grin. Thanks......Figgs > Umm, good stuff here. > > Alphabets. Transcripts.
