vivdunstan: Portion of a 1687 testament of ancestor James Greenfield in East Lothian (historical research)
Staring again briefly at the testament(*) of an ancestor who died in 1591. And very grateful for colour manipulation options to make it more readable. Two pics - part of the original, and part of the colour adjusted version. It's still lots of 16th century squiggles, but at least they are clearer 16th century squiggles!

* sort of equivalent to English probate records. It includes legal matters relating to the estate, and debts. And may include a will if there was one. Also occasionally a detailed inventory of personal possessions.



vivdunstan: (fourth doctor)
Continuing to catch up on my gargantuan Big Finish Doctor Who audio backlog.

This one is rather fun, and includes Liz Shaw's Mum as a quasi companion.

The main image is a spooky blue-tinged one, featuring Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor, Louise Jameson's Leela, and three spooky looking nuns
