Today is the first day in many weeks that I have been able to sit down and do some research. As usual, I started with new ancestry leaves and ended up on a distant branch of the family tree (somewhere around the twigs where my sister-in-law of my first cousin four times removed sits).
One puzzling find was the suggestion of that a marriage record for an Elizabeth H. should match a Julia Ann B. on my tree. I was interested so I poked around the records a little bit and couldn't find any information that made me think this was the same person.
Is Winnie a nickname for Elizabeth? Has it ever been? My curiosity lead me to many fun nicknames for Elizabeth (including Buffy, Lidabet, Lillibeth, Zabby, and Tizzy...but no Winnie).
.............For that matter, why is Winnie a nickname for Julia in the first place? No idea.
I (was) a 20-something-year-old who stumbled into the world of genealogy all because of a scandal. Researching since 2008.
Enjoyed your blog. I subscribed by e-mail. Family History is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHello! Thank you very much! It really is fascinating and I'm enjoying tracking of some of my progress on this blog.
DeleteAlso Libby, Lizzie, and Zibby (all in my family tree). Welcome to Geneabloggers!
ReplyDeleteOoo Zibby is another new one! I have always liked trying to figure out where 'odd' nicknames come from. Thank you very much for the welcome!
