I've written a little bit before about deciphering old fashioned handwriting, but I have now realized it is more important than ever and even harder to do than ever. Handwriting has changed a lot over the last several decades and centuries. I have recently found a few resources that will help you decipher those old Bible records and cards.
The UK National Archives has one of the best online tutorials. This online tutorial even has an online game you can play to improve your skills. http://www.nationalarchives.
The online tutorial from Cambridge University breaks down each letter of the alphabet to make Old English documents easier to decipher. http://www.english.
And then Brigham Young University has an online tutorial which helps you read not only old handwriting, but foreign documents as well. http://script.byu.edu/
