Hi list, The nicknames: Sonny Chip or Chipper Bud or Buddy Skip Junior - June Bug The above are unusually nicknames given to the son, when he & his father share the same given name(s). William A., Sr. William A., Jr. (Bud or Chip, etc.) I have seen in census records where the father is William Anthony & the son Tony. Then "after" the father dies the son Tony uses the name William Anthony, Jr.
