Have you gotten in touch with the Archives of the Convent they were nuns
at? Most Orders now a days have a web site..
They hold quite abit of history on their sisters that might tell you
what you want to know...just make sure that you have the proof to show
them they are family members or you will not get anything from them...it
took me 2 yrs to get the proof I need to let the Convent release the
info on my G-grannys aunts who were nuns .. one of my treasures is
'knowing' these 2 little Irish aunts .. Their personal history told so
much about each of them..
