My 2x great-grandfather's sister
Julia Creeden entered the Sisters of Charity convent on March 25, 1870.
Julia took the name Sister Mary Felix when she took her religious vows. Knowing her religious name helped me find her
death certificate which listed her parents' names as Patrick Creedon and Mary Coakley.
What a great resource to know about, Kathryn. I don't have relatives who joined the Sisters of Charity in Cincinnati (at least, I don't think so), but I can see how useful this set of books is for those who did.
ReplyDeleteI really lucked out since Julia's father mentioned her religious order in his will. It was nice to find this resource and see her name in print. Thanks for stopping by Yvonne!
