Re: Nannerl
Yes, Nannerl would be a nickname for Anna. Nicknames ending in 'l' are (or were) common in German; as well as Nannerl (which I've seen before, but it may have been the same person!) you get Gretel / Gretl for Margaret, Liesel / Liesl for Elisabeth, and my own step-great-grandmother was Rosa nn Rosel. There aren't many examples in the BtN database but those that are there demonstrate the pattern.I hope that helps :-)
