By Barry J. Ewell
I have prepared four lists that focus on associating nicknames with proper names to assist in genealogy research. The lists include hundreds of names from the last 200 years. The lists are not inclusive, but will give you a good start to decipher names that were given to your ancestors by their family, friends and associates. The lists are
- Female nicknames and their associated birth name. This lists the female nickname first followed by the common female name associated with the nickname.
- Male nicknames and their associated birth name. This lists the male nickname first and followed by the common names associated with the nickname.
- Female birth names and their associated nicknames. This lists the more common female birth name first and provides you possible nicknames that have been associated with the name.
- Male birth names and their associated nicknames. This lists the more common male birth name first and provides you possible nicknames that have been associated with the name.
