That is on JewishGen - the "Given Names Database" : The Given Names Data Bases (jewishgen.org)
You do not need to donate to access this database IIRC. Look under "Learn" on the home page, then click on "search methodologies and research advice" - scroll far down that page. Elise Norman Cundiff, Ohio Researching families from Zelva (Pazelva) and Moletai (Malat), Lithuania |

Someone had been kind enough to research a ship's record for me after I had posted information here [ TAUFIELD, 1890 Passenger List Records for New York City:Arrivals..].
The record that she found had the wife listed as "Emilie". I was looking for an Esther/Ester/ Esta---could "my" name have also been, alternatively, "Amalia/"Amalie"?-- [ the reader found "Adolf TAFLAWITSCH, traveling with Emilie & arriving in NYC, July 1890; I was researching Adolf/Adolph TAUFIELD---family lore indicated that Taufield was not the original name, but there are several "TAFLOWICZ" in my family] Until recently, Ancestry had a chart on their home page into which you could write a first name & then look for another country's version or versions of that name. That chart no longer exists & I received no satisfaction after having a phone conversation with a supervisor at Ancestry regarding this issue. Does anyone know of a similar chart of name variations?
