Mike, That's a good idea. Try to get used to the handwriting. Depending on the time period, you might notice that "filho legitimo" is 1/4 or 1/3 of the way down, with the baby's name. You'll notice the slant. These letters are "tall" in handwriting: f, l, h, l, t. These dangle below: g. So you'll get used to picking out "filho legitmo" because of the slant and the height of the letters. In a couple of months, you'll scratch your head and wonder why you thought it was so hard.
