Hello New York, I wish I could say it was from sunny Southern California, but we haven't seen the sun in three days. Anyway, I'm searching for any information anyone can give me regarding a distant second cousin twice removed. Her birth name was Emma GILLIE, born in Merrill, Michigan in 1886. I can't find anything on her in Saginaw County, right now. Around the age of 21, Emma entered the Order of the Gray Nuns of the Sacred Heart Convent D'Youville, New York. She took the name, "SISTER BARBARA," and apparently lived in the faith until she passed away in 1946. Sister Barbara had either a sister or cousin named Mary (Gillie) Gorman, who was a colorful character in early Merrill, Michigan history. I've shotgunned this posting because it is always good for success, so please bear with me. I don't know a thing about that particular faith, where it was, if it still exists and where she might be buried. I am really fascinated with these circumstances and would like to learn more. I'm pretty much a bonehead with this stuff; in fact, most stuff. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Kevin M. O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA
