Try Marytje, Marrytie, etc., the Dutch variant spellings for Mary started
with "Mar....", the endings differed. They also used Maria.
And Polly is a very common diminutive for Mary.
I don't know if this means anything, but with my german lines, whenever a
female was christened as Maria (or whatever) as the first name (baptismal
name), they were called by and used the second given name. So that a Maria
Magdelena in christening records was Magdelena in all the other records of
her life.

> Does anyone have suggestions on Dutch diminutives or nicknames or
variations on the name MARY (first name). Not being able to locate any
marriage or other records for Mary PRALL (late 18th/early 19th century) of
NJ, it was suggested that I start looking for her with a variation.
