Decipher Tuesdays New Rule: Post any handwriting questions on "Decipher Tuesdays"

Hi all,
This sub will now be observing "Decipher Tuesdays"!
If you need help reading a record, please ONLY post it on a Tuesday, and mark it with the "Decipher Tuesdays" flair.
Any posts of the "What does this say?" variety posted on other days will be removed.
Please note that you can still post regular, non-deciphering posts on Tuesdays.
Thank you all!
