Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Sound and the word
« on: Saturday 20 August 22 01:16 BST (UK)  »
There are many books called something like sound and sense. They must be read more closely when you are deciphering a handwriting that is spacious capacious and difficult to fathom . Most experts concur that one must try to read all unfamiliar handwriting aloud so that in the voice thing of the wavering past  and seem opaque become natural. Then our sound to sense metronome will work, allowing us to discern connections which were hitherto indiscernible. When reading unfamiliar prose it wil become clear. And you will find yourself speaking words you didn’t know you could say and your discoveries will reward you forever after

And oh--the spelling is not important just to be correct, as you all know, I'm sure. One letter in someone's thinking can change everything.

My last post was in earnest--just as it is necessary to document and to feret out the exact particulars, probably no "detail" needs to remain a 'detail," but may be primarily significant.

Humanise everyone.

Your site is amazing! As I begin to learn more about the history of my family, I've been listening to stories and I have a tip: Listen to everything and WRITE quotes and particular turns of phrase down or they will be gone. The stories are especially important because they encapsulate exactly who the person is, indelibly.

Write everydown word for word and be sure of the spelling!

Is the list up to date? It's highly readable in itself. On Amazon and Abe's List I found a lot of sources' this one is general but perhaps useful,  "The Organized Family Historian: How to File, Manage, and Protect Your Genealogical Research and Heirlooms." (National Genealogical Society Guides) by Ann Fleming.

I'm embarking, meaning beginning work in the Cobbledick family so I'm doing this from the ground up.
