Guest Speaker: Cathy Andrews
Topic: Deciphering Old Handwriting
Many original sources we rely on in researching family history are handwritten. The older the handwriting, the
more challenging it can be to understand. This presentation will provide practical tips about styles and materials used, as well as some
historical context, clues which help genealogists to build strong deciphering skills. The program will focus on handwriting found in American documents from the 1700s to the mid-1900s.
Cathy Andrews is Senior Librarian for Adult Services with the Salinas
Public Library, where she teaches the “Genealogy Basics” series and
oversees genealogy resources, services, and programming. Growing
up in a family where stories and details about ancestors were woven
into every family gathering, she has a deep appreciation for genealogy’s challenges and rewards.
