This review is from: Nicknames: Past and Present (Paperback)
This handy booklet provides the translation of the most commonly found American nicknames for both males and females into their full given name equivalents. Often, a nickname can stand for more than one first name and many variants are covered.Included in the appendicies are English to Dutch/Frisian nickname translations, names commonly found truncated or superscripted, and names which can be either male or female. An excellent reference from one of the giants in genealogy.

useless,
This review is from: Nicknames: Past and Present (Paperback)
This book has a very limited number of nicknames and misses many of the obvious from the time period. Unfortunately, the author has left no way to submit other nicknames to add to her collection (with sources) which would eventually, actually make this book useful.
