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.

Making a start on my goals list for the week, while I have a very disturbed night neurologically.

Some bits of this document are vastly easier to read than others. And I remain rubbish at reading abbreviations for numbers in the period. But can improve that. This is good practice.
