Is it correct to assume that Nancy is a variant of Ann?

Yes Rob, I think it is

My Grandma was Elizabeth Ann - they called her Nancy

My Great Grandma was Hannah - they called her Nancy

Another Great Grandma was Mary Ann - they called her Nancy

And another Great Grandma was definitely Nancy

All this information from my mom - who really thought they were all called Nancy until I started researching :?

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
