Nettie was a nickname for Antoinette or Henrietta in American records of the 1700s and 1800s.
Nettie is a pet form of Antoinette and of Henrietta.
Many records were made with the name a person went by, so look for Nettie as well as Antoinette in indexes. Check other details before treating them as one woman. Because Nettie served for more than one name, see which full name the same woman carries in other records.
