Can You Spot the Same Signature Over Time?
In this episode of Genealogy TV, we explore how comparing signatures across historical documents—like World War I and II draft cards and a marriage license—can help verify your ancestor's identity. Watch as I demonstrate how handwriting analysis, including letter formation and slant, plays a role in confirming original signatures. This is a valuable technique every genealogist should know!
