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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Information in the book is good!, November 11, 2007
The information in the book is good. The binding came apart from the pages so I had to place it in a 3-ring binder.
