A disadvantage to using microfilmed records is that they ae in black & white and differences in writing may be difficult to notice.
ReplyDeleteOne also has to consider the type of writing instruments from the olden times -- they didn't always perform consistently -- the pen had to be dipped in an ink well.
Pens that didn't perform well are a good point KAT. That's something people need to consider as well.
ReplyDeleteThe document from which this image is taken clearly as a few things written in a different pen and hand at a different point in time. But in other records the differences are not necessarily so clear.
