Addie stood for Adelaide or Adeline in many American records of the 1700s and 1800s.
Addie, also written Addy, is a pet form of Adelaide and Adeline.
If a search for Adelaide finds nothing, try Addie, and the reverse. Treat a match as a lead and confirm it with age, birthplace and family members. Because Addie served for more than one name, see which full name the same woman carries in other records.
