Another sampling of handwriting found. As I suspected it would, this writing also matches.

But is handwriting really much evidence at all? Not that there is a right or wrong answer to the question.

I have wondered the same thing myself...

Hm, Ive said it before and I'll say it again. Like photographic comparison, I think that handwriting analysis can be good secondary evidence. If youve got memories, verifications, etc, then it is simply another piece of evidence- another link as they say. But alone, I dont believe it will stand up.

Another thing to remember, handwriting can vary wildly depending on the persons state of mind, and a hundred other factors as well. And while some of the baseline strokes, etc do stay the same (which is what makes Forensic handwriting analysis possible) there can be some wild variances. Take a look at the attempts at comparison in the Zodiac case. Depending on who did the analysis of the letters and the suspect, and the time in which they were done, different conclusions were reached. And dont even get me started on the Whitechapel Murderer letters. Theyve been debating those for over 100 years

So is it something to consider... yes, but I dont believe it should be exclusively relied upon, nor should it be considered anything more important than secondary evidence.

But thats just me

Here is mine:

Signatures generally dont work. They are far too flxible and reliant on the writers state of mind at the time. Oftentimes they dont have ANY resemblance to the authors handwriting.

See this.

Five different signature samples from the same person with a handwriting sample for comparison. While there are a few similarities, the sigs dont match each other let alone the handwriting.

Plus two types of messy handwriting doesnt mean its the same person.
YOu also generally need more than one letter to compare. The I's in your sigs are far too different, in particular the slant is running in completely opposite directions.

Although I do find the way that the first and second T were crossed with the same stroke to be interesting. using a double stroke generally stands for someone who is efficent and industrious while the highly raised T bar generally means someone who is aloof, careless, or out of touch with reality. Interesting indeed.

Ok thanks...

Did you ever find anything interesting in my handwriting. I remember I looked at a book on telling your personality from your handwriting, it was quite accurate!

Hiya, all. It's been awhile.

This feel like old news but I came across something that I'd dumped into an online photo-bucket and it revived an old itch to put it in front of other eyes. I'm no expert (perhaps you aren't either) but I'm able to pick out some similarities, though it's hard to imagine that I'm being objective (hence the desire to make use of other eyes). I would mention that I remember consciously sitting down when I was twelve or thirteen and determining that "OK, now's the time to decide what my style of handwriting is" or some-such, which gave birth to a kind of meant-to-be-spontaneous, quasi-Asian (though I doubt I thought of it as such) brush-stroke style. This would explain some of the flourishes that can be found there.

It only occurred to me some four years after my whatchamacalit to compare handwriting, which I thought surprising. I sat down immediately and wrote out some lines that by then I had memorized (sticklers, provided that they can find similarities, might wish to express that I had also memorized the handwriting in question, which I had been exposed to by then, but that feels like a very odd thought; I can assure you that this is just me writing as I normally write and is nothing like copying, which would totally go against the grain of my style in any event).

My waves of interest in the whole affair, at least as something -- I don't know -- nameable, has subsided, but it's nice to offer something that may (or may not) add another grain of sand to whatever sea-threatened edifice helps define reincarnation.

(Note: I used to sit on the fence for so long about sharing a thing that it's difficult for me to remember if, in fact, I did share it. I'm pretty sure that I haven't with this, except, perhaps, privately).

Hi!

It's a little difficult to compare cursive to print writing. Do you use cursive now?

Sandra

Mine is on this page: Esther and me. I'm hoping someone comes up with more samples of her handwriting soon.

I don't try to compare to Will's - too much time has passed, and he deliberately changed his writing style all the time.

No, that was me and then I got shy. I've sent you the pic privately... would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Ah, there it is (I've also posted as G. Warryth). I thought I'd posted the dang thing. I do remember sending a copy and a note to Brooklynfan at the time but I never did hear anything.

Hey, Sandra (that was fast!). No, cursive is an unknown country to me, except where I bring some cursive elements into my handwriting as it is. I admit the difficulty.

(Hope you're doing well).

I'll say nice things about yours if you say nice things about mine ... but, seriously, we need a forensic handwriting expert or something who has no clue what it's really about if anything like this is to go anywhere.

ADDENDUM!

Wait -- it sounds like I just shut off comments. Dang.
