What's the nickname for Thankful? Thankie sounds too much like hanky.

That's funny! Maybe Hank...wonder if that's where Hank came from?
I think Patience Fish would be Patty Fish and Deliverance...maybe Del or Vera? We also have a Lavinia and several generations of Eewel. When I traced my grandmothers line back to France the names got super strange...so strange that I can't remember them.

Lavinia's not so bad ;-)
