Reading Old Handwriting
Palaeography is the study of old handwriting. At first glance, many early records look illegible to the modern reader.

 

Can gravestones tell you anything about your ancestry?
Monumental Inscriptions (the writing on gravestones) can tell you alot about an ancestor, but you'll probably find more information in a burial register or death record.

 

Probate Records - the only source of information before Parish Records
Once the maker of the will has died, his/her executor must have the will 'proved'. You can trace ancestors back even further using these records.
