Genealogy / Polish equivalent of "Jessie"? [48]
My uncle told me that his grandmother (my great-grandmother)'s first name was Jessie. I have found her on one census after she was married as Jesse, and her obituary also as Jessie. But I am trying to find her on a census as a child, to determine who her parents were and trace the line back further. The only possible match that I can find is a Ceslawa (how the census taker spelled Czesława I'm guessing)...could Jessie or Jesse be an 'anglicized' nickname for Czesława? Or if not what would be an equivalent Polish name that I should be looking for?
