The tutorial is very informative and explains how to proceed with deciphering the old handwriting. Once you have completed your tutorial, you can check your understanding, comprehension, and skills at reading the old handwriting by playing a game where you have to transcribe a word from the old to present day handwriting. Sadly, I must report that I failed in my first attempt. I will have to go through the tutorial frequently until I understand it completely.
If you are looking for a way to understand those older records, this website will provide you with an education with practice in transcribing the old records. If you make a mistake in the transcription, the site tells you and you can try again. I feel that this site will prove to be of great value to those of you who are trying to work with old records.
