Read line by line
Each page is transcribed in its original language, one handwritten line at a time, then translated into English.
Handwritten records, made searchable
Bringing names to light
LumeTracer lets you search and verify names in handwritten records. Every result opens the original page with the exact line highlighted, so you can see the handwriting for yourself.
Search every spelling
Find a surname even when the clerk spelled it differently, or when the writing allows more than one reading.
Verify against the page
Every match shows the scan, the highlighted line and a plain confidence rating: clear, uncertain, illegible or verified.
Honest about what's unclear
Old handwriting is hard. Where a word can't be read with confidence, LumeTracer says so and lists the other possible readings, instead of guessing a name that looks plausible.
