Program Description: There is no ‘magic pill’ that will give a genealogist the ability to easily decipher old handwriting. However, this presentation provides many tried-and-true tips and techniques for improving your skills at making sense of what was written decades or even centuries ago. Recommendations for where to turn when you hit a handwriting brick wall are also included.

Speaker Bio: A professional researcher, writer and certified Master Trainer, my genealogy journey began in childhood. Family stories of suspicious name changes, disappearances, cattle rustling, and other mysteries sparked my imagination and a lifelong passion for family history. Following a successful career in Human Resources, I turned my skills in investigation, analysis, and documentation toward finding ‘lost’ relatives, solving family mysteries, and breaking through brick walls.
