Nicknames: Past and Present, 5th ed.
$9.95 + $2.75 postage
This popular book is now in its 5th edition. The book was borne from the author's own frustration many years ago when, as a novice, she finally discovered after a long search for non-existent ancestors, that "Patsy" was a common nickname for Martha, "Sandy" for Alexander, "Left" for Eliphalet, "Peter" for Patrick, and others. This led to the research of nicknames, and publication of this book. The book is divided into male and female names, fully cross-indexed by given name and nickname. Through several new editions appendixes now include English Names and their Equivalents in Dutch and Frisian Baptismal Names; Truncated and Superscripted Names; names used for both males and females; Italian given names with English equivalents, nicknames, diminutives, etc.
