Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Genealog Records and Cursive Writing
Yes I think that is not good that they don't teach cursive. My son can't read my writing because I write half cursive and half in print. I first thought can't you read lol but the problem was they don't teach cursive. On Wednesday, October 15, 2014, Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com wrote: I was reading something about cursive.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Genealog Records and Cursive Writing
I didn’t even realize that they didn’t teach cursive in school anymore! So, everyone prints? Amazing! Sent from Windows Mail From: elaine sharp Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 10:48 AM To: azores Funny Cheri would mention understanding cursive writing to one of our newbies as I was thinking the other day that if we don't translate these documents now, how will our grandchildren should they decide to take up genealogy in the future as many of them do not write cursive anymore and most, if not all, of the records are not only in Portuguese, Latin, Italian, etc. but they are also in cursive. When I write to my children/grandchildren, birthday cards, thank you note, etc., I always write in cursive in hopes they, at least, will be able to make out this hen-scratching as one of my grandchildren calls it.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Genealog Records and Cursive Writing
Cheri, FYI I just bought a new ! vinyl LP album at Barnes Noble last week. What's old is new again. LOL Don't count cursive out. The powers that be may realize their mistake. After all, legal papers and such still need to be signed. Just thought I'd try to make you smile.
