Given Name Abbreviation Finder

The Given Name Abbreviation Finder automatically generates abbreviations for given names to help improve your genealogy searches.

Simply enter a given name and the tool will suggest common abbreviations used in historical records and historical newspapers.

This tool is designed to help genealogists discover records that might otherwise remain hidden. I have seen as high as 100-150% additional results by using name abbreviations in newspaper search criteria.
