Nickname Table-San Francisco County

To reduce the frequency of duplicate searches for similar first names and common nicknames, the system uses a Nickname Table. This means you don't have to run separate searches for first names "Cathy" and "Kathy" or "Sidney" and "Sydney."

When a first name begins with the letters in column one of the Nickname Table, matches will include first names beginning with the letters in column two. (And vice versa: entries in column two match column one.)

For example, the Nickname Table has LAR = LAU and LAW.  If you search for "SM=LARRY," the search output will include "SMITH LAURENCE" and "SMITH LAWRENCE." If you enter "SM=LAURENCE," the search output will include "SMITH LARRY."

The San Francisco County nickname table contains the following entries:
