Handwriting course

After transcribing some old wills it occurred to me to recommend this free on-line course which I worked through some time back.
It is  "English Handwriting Online 1500-1700"

which can be found here

I found it to be well structured, starting with relatively easy examples and getting progressively harder, and was suitable for reading documents found in family history research. It really helped my ability to read older documents. However as with all these things you do have put the time in and work through all the examples,  but it was well worth it.
