It is hard enough for me to read German, add to that poor penmanship and the occasional Latin word.  I was happy when I came across Deciphering Handwriting in German Documents by Roger P. Minert.

With the use of actual documents and handwriting samples in Deciphering Handwriting in German Documents, reading German documents has been made easier.  I am still no expert with German written documents written with poor penmanship, but I am one step closer to understanding the content and finding clues to my ancestors.
