[OL] How to decipher old handwriting?

Date: 2006/08/19 10:52:48
From: Cour10ayMN <Cour10ayMN(a)aol.com> 

Hallo List,

We need some assistance in reading old handwriting from late 1700s and early 
1800s church records.  

There is a first letter of a word that looks like a 2 in modern handwriting.  
 

"Ludovicus de Heise Wa??is (or in)  im gu(or gri)unreadable von 2umbarland."  
(Or what looks to be barland - it may be barlant or barlaut.)  

Do any of you have an idea about that 2 looking letter?  The 2 has a curl on 
the top if that helps.  Also, in the old handwriting, was the overstrike over 
the letter u as common as it is today?

Thanks for any assistance.
