Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Particularly addressed to people doing genealogical research, who often search out documents such as wills, deeds, and church records that have never been printed. Provides samples of alphabets and letter forms, defines terms and abbreviations commonly used in early American documents, presents nearly 100 examples to practice on, and considers numbers and the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.
