I need some help in clarifying what appears to be variations in the 
given names Gil and Gila.  Is Gil a contraction of Mergil and/or 
Hermeregildo?  Is Gila a contraction of Hermeregilda?  I have a 
number of people found in different records whom I need to determine 
if they are the same person but recorded with a variation of name.   
Has anyone a difinitive answer?
