Her father's will mentioned that she was in the order, so I took a guess and contacted the closest group to her which was in Cincinnati. Their website had a contact for their archives, so I used that. It's definitely worth a try if you know the order.<br /><br />They responded via email with her religious name, some information about her life and a picture! With the religious name, I was able to trace her in the census and find a death certificate listing both of her parents. The census entries varied greatly. Some had her religious name and one had her given last name, followed by her religious name. I posted about it here:<br />http://kathrynsquest.blogspot.com/2012/12/sisters-of-charity-archives-church.html<br /><br />KathrynKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983843990930490265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12077223.post-55757822134735756752013-03-24T18:02:51.627-07:002013-03-24T18:02:51.627-07:00Magda-
