Her name was Magill, she called herself Lil, but Everyone Knew Her as Nancy.
Lyrics from the Beatles song Rocky Raccoon.
The Goal is to match any duplicate profiles and merge if they are in fact the same person.
This is for the profiles whose first name is Nancy or that have more that one first name or given name. There seem to be quite a few Nancys. I have found that people often have more than one or two names that they went by or nick names. There are Nancys who have been married more than once and have several married last names. I have found that many Native American women were named Nancy.
Sometimes there are two or more different profiles of the same person on Geni.com and if there are any that can be merged from this Nancy project then this project can possibly be helpful.
* Please only add public profiles. There is no obligation to add profiles, this is only for those who want to add the profiles they manage and if there are possible duplicates. Any private profiles or living profiles should not be added.

One way we can try to match Nancy profiles is to list the ones here that are similar and need to be looked at.
Example:
- Nancy Shrewsbury (married to Allen Shrewsbury dates are b 1769-d 1846)
- Nancy Shrewsbury (married to Allen Shrewsbury)

Add any Nancy profile you see or if she went by several names other than her first name.

Nancy is first found in the 1200’s, coming into Middle English from the French.
Usage: Many thousands of examples of Nancy as a given name can be found in Scotland's pre-1855 registers of baptism. The earliest example I have found belongs to the year 1607. This is one of only three which are dated earlier than 1700. Another three are noticed in the period 1701-50. A further twenty are noticed in the period 1751-70, and thereafter Nancy becomes more popular as a given name.
