Nickname Finder

The Nickname Finder automatically generates nicknames for given names to help improve your genealogy searches.

Simply enter a given name and the tool will suggest nicknames 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 50% additional results by using nicknames in newspaper search criteria. Nicknames are often used in other types of genealogy records.
