Gail -
Thanks so much for posting this information It made me remember
there is a private catholic school in Cumberland, RI called
Mercymount.
When I looked it up, I found it is run by the sisters of Mercy DUH
I also found a website for the sisters in RI
http://www.mercyri.org/
The address you gave is the same [number 15] but there was a different
phone number listed -
401-333-6333
I don't know about this order, but I have heard many success stories
from
people who have received information on their relatives from the
various
orders of nuns.
Thanks again,
Lisa

About ten years ago my sister rec'd some information about our
mother's
cousin who was a member of this order.
She had contacted the archivist at:
Sisters od Mercy of the Americas
Highland View Road
Cumberland, RI 02864
401-333-9145
I don't know if they still are as liberal with info but they gave
her
full name, parent's names and assignments. If writing for info, I
would
enclose an SASE.
