Is Vonnie short for anything?
Yes. Vonnie is a nickname in most old records, and it usually points to Veronica. Less often it stands in for Yvonne, Lavonne, and Siobhan. Expect it in American records, mostly 1900s. A record that says Vonnie and a record that says Veronica can easily be the same person, so search both names before you rule anyone out.
