Is Connie short for anything?

Yes. Connie is a nickname in most old records, and it usually points to Constance. Less often it stands in for Cornelia, Cornelius, and Conrad, among others. Expect it in American and British records, mostly 1800s-1900s. A record that says Connie and a record that says Constance can easily be the same person, so search both names before you rule anyone out.

FAQs

Is Connie a nickname?+

In old records, almost always - it stands for Constance or Cornelia. Treat it as a pointer to a formal name until the documents prove otherwise.

Is Connie a real name on its own?+

It mostly rode on Constance in the eras we track (1800s-1900s). If your ancestor's papers only ever say Connie, record it as written and keep Constance as a candidate.
