Hi
Yes someone in the family should know what order she was in or else might have a picture
of her in her habit that can let you search out the habit to find the order.
The Orders are very good about giving out the personal history of the nun BUT you have to
prove you are related to the nun befor they will send you anything.... most Orders are
online and have an email address to correspond with them.
It took me 2 yrs to get paper proof that my 2 nuns that were blood sisters were family
befor their Order would send me their info... it took a obit of their younger sister
mentioning the surviving nuns name that got me both their personal info.
So start asking family members for either the name of the Order or if anyone has a picture
of her that might help find the Order
Much luck
Sharon
