Event Details

Your ancestors wrote in cursive, which hopefully you learned in school, but you are still having a problem reading the records left by your ancestor. What caused these
problems? Professional genealogist Margo Fariss Brewer (https://www.genealogist4u.com/) will discuss the writing tools, paper, alphabets, abbreviations, punctuation, and symbols your ancestors used to conserve their resources and confuse their descendants.
