Shelli, Who are your trying to find? Bessie might be a middle name. I have lots of rellies known by their middle names. Rose

Yeah Bessie can be short for Elizabeth. But I have also got a Bessie in my tree, and her name actually was Bessie.

The most obvious 'full' name for Bessie is... Elizabeth??? right??
