Hi John I have had to tangle with the old script on more than one will. Pam in Oz sent me a copy of how old script letters would appear. Another source to look at is on the National Archives. Try this URL to get what they have online as examples of lettering in old wills: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/palaeography/doc2_popup/alphabet.htm Between these two documents I was able to figure out the bulk of them. Then, a few other listers took pity on me and helped out. I don't think that I can send the Pam document to you online so I will try ofline. Bill in Gig Harbor
