Here is a study on the Gothic handwriting found in older Norwegian Church records.

<\/div>Reading old handwritten records can be hard. Some time ago I realized that I needed to get better at this. One of the big obstacles is the Gothic lettering that was used up until the late 1800s.<\/p>\n

I ventured into a little study of Gothic writing and shared my experience in a number of articles here on the blog. While I am still far from an expert, I see that spending a little time with the Gothic letters and practice, I am little by little getting better at reading this handwriting.<\/p>\n

As I am planning to share with you some sources that require reading the actual scanned records, I invite you to join me in the study of Gothic handwriting.<\/p>\n
