Hello, I am reposting this to add more information. (The original wouldn't allow me to edit). I am trying to trace the origins of a relative of mine named William Ayers, who was born in 1829 in Pennsylvania.
He married Altigracia Perea and had a daughter named Andrea. I think this may be him in the 1850 census at 21 years old. He is living with another William Ayers and two women. They are all too young to be his parents. Maybe siblings?

Then here he is in 1860 at age 31 with wife Altigracia and daughter Andrea.
1860 Census - 7th Precinct Albuquergue, Bernalillo, New Mexico Territory

Andrea Ayers - 9 - NM

Here is daughter Andrea in the 1900 census. She gives her father's (William's) birthplace to be Pennsylvania, specifically Philadelphia.

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In 1909 in Russia Poland, where was Woganits, Wars., 19 Russia?

Hi an ancestor of mine came from Woganits, Wars., 19 Russia. Where is this? Russia, Poland, or Ukraine?

The best nicknames aren't short for anything in particular.

I knew a lady when I was much younger, who told me she disliked her given name. I said I'd call her "Sandy", partly because her hair was sandy blonde, partly because that's what Leora called Martin Arrowsmith in the book by Sinclair Lewis, partly because "she has plenty of sand" was a term of admiration for women in Mark Twain's time; it meant level-headed and not particularly mindful of society's silly rules. I can still remember a warm afternoon we spent on a slab of granite overlooking a lake, holding hands and talking of this and that. It was a rest day on a five-day Sierra Club hike. Her hand was slender and warm, her hair smelled faintly of wood smoke from our campfire the night before and I loved her as only a 16-year old can. She was "Sandy" to me then and always will be.

One hot afternoon in 1863 at Gettysburg, the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry ran out of ammunition. They had been fighting Alabamans who outnumbered them 3:2 for hours. What to do? Run? Hide? Not very damn likely. The 20th was out of powder and ball, not courage. Their colonel ordered them to fix bayonets and follow him, figuring they'd win or die trying. Down the hill they charged, the 400 who could still stand, through the fog of black powder smoke, the groans of the wounded, the stink of the dead. The Alabamans surrendered, mostly. Some died, with 18 inches of steel through their livers. Courage was not in short supply that day, not on either side. The 20th won, and saved the Union flank. Their colonel was Joshua "Bayonet" Chamberlain ever after. Not "Josh", not "Jay", not "JC; "Bayonet".

The best nicknames are earned, not given.

If you want, though, here are some suggestions:

Ace, especially for someone who wins consistently at poker or has shot down five enemy planes.

Catfish, especially if the person plans on making a career in the major leagues.

Chips and Sparks are traditional for the ship's carpenter and radio operator. By extension, "Grease" would be the proper title for a cook in a cheap diner.

Cornfed, if you are like the kid who works for my hay dealer; 19 years old, 6'5", 280 pounds, none of it fat, 46-inch chest, 34-inch waist, hefts 100 - 130 pound bales of hay 8 - 10 hours a day.

Curly, for people with curly hair.

Curly, if you have a sense of humor and the man is bald as an egg.

Dusty, especially for cowboys and those whose last name is "Rhodes".

Fingers, especially for people who play the piano.

Lefty, for left-handers.

Red, Brick or Tiger for people with red hair.

Slats, especially for someone thin enough to slip through the slats in a picket fence.

Slim, especially for someone who is, or whose last name is "Pickens".

Snap, (as in snap decision) especially if the person routinely dithers over a menu.

Sparky, if people's eyes light up when the person comes into a room.

Spike, if the person is good at volleyball or the kind you want on your side if there is a fight.

Spud, if the person is down-to-earth and on the homely side, but cute, like a basset hound or Walter Matthau.

Tex, for people born in that state.

If you want "mary_jones@yahoo.com" to display "Mary Smith" in your e-mail or other places, go into help, look for "Display name" and follow the instructions. Most programs work about the same, but there are small differences.
