Reading Old Handwriting

Reading some of the old documents can be a real challenge. I have had some problems with old English, Swedish and even a few other languages. I found one good site that has a lot of help. I find this site can be useful deciphering words or at least the letters. This site covers old script with tutorials in these languages: English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
