52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 3 (NICKNAME)
Several years ago I met my dad's 2nd cousin who said "Oh yes Aunt Lizzie" when I asked her about my great grandmother, Elizabeth Young (nee Slicer) Thomson.
This was the first time I had heard she was known as Lizzie.
Not once did my grandmother or dad tell me her name was anything except Elizabeth.
In the years since I have found a few records for her using the nickname Lizzie.
