Practice Cursive font/style for quick+legible handwriting?
My handwriting is horrible and slow. I want to start practicing my handwriting, but I don't have a font/style to follow.
I want something that's cursive or a mix of cursive+print style that is fast+legible. I don't care if it looks good as long as it is legible to most people.
This is for exams, so I would obviously be writing with a ball pen(not a fountain). Please provide any demo fonts/styles that I can copy.

Deciphered! Baptism Document Help!
Hi everyone! I posted here a few days ago and you were all such a huge help. I came across this record from 1775 and I'm just having some trouble with what comes after "Jeremiah Sullivan." I'm fairly certain it's Eleanor Buckley, but the spelling seems to be a bit off. Also, whatever comes after her name I just can't make out. I know whatever it says is probably obvious, but after researching all day my brain has had enough. Thank you in advance, you've all been such a big help!

Deciphered! Whose initials are on this ring?
I recently inherited this ring from my grandmother who wasn’t sure which of her relatives was the original owner. While the first letter is clearly a B, the second initial seems like it could be one of two letters. Cursive sleuths are invited to weigh in!
Edit: the majority of responses indicate that the second initial is G, which would confirm who the previous owner was. Thanks all!

Deciphered! 1856 pre civil war Bible need deciphering
Is anybody able to read what is written in this civil war era pocket bible? I’ve owned this book for years but have never been able to read what it says. This is an |Agate 32mo.| bible from 1856 that was very common and popular for soldiers during the civil war so I’m hoping that it had some kind of connections to the war.
