I used these examples to assist me in my research for my series of books on New Netherland Settlers (New Netherland being present day New York)

Thank you for sharing these guides -- I don't know how many times I have sat staring at a name, trying to figure it out! Can I print these out?
Yes please do print them out. They are also on Olive Tree Genealogy Facebook page if those are clearer or easier for you to get

Very nice, Lorine. I love these kinds of handwriting guides for trying to figure out what is being said. Wonderfully useful! Thanks so much.
Congratulations on yr 9th birthday! And good luck with yr Dutch research.
Thanks, nice addition to our research tools for handwriting!
Thank you so much for posting this. It is invaluable, especially with regard to the strange look of the capital "R" which looks like a "V" with a line through it. I have stared at what I though was a "V" for days.

Thank you so much for these guides. They have helped me decipher a few tricky documents. May I have permission to display them to the members of my Family History group - with full credit given to your site and link displayed, of course.
