I found this article about Polish Jesuits. Interesting, although no direct explanation of HFN. http://www.polishroots.com/paha/polish_jesuit.htm David Buzzek <[email protected]> wrote: Checking a comprehensive list of religious order initials, I found no listing for HFN.

Thanks for trying, Dave! Not being Catholic, I don't have a clue. I am trying to track it down for a gentleman in Germany who is related to the sister. My husband was raised Catholic and took a stab at it. He suggested Holy Family ? but couldn't come up with anything else.

Also, it's from an obit from 1961 if that helps narrow down possibilites. By the way, anyone trying to get information out of Springfield, might have a bit of a delay. We were hit pretty hard by tornadoes on Sunday evening. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library is closed today. Most state closings are probably due more to power outages than damage. The cental part of the city where the Library and archives are located did not get hit, although I heard the capitol building had some windows blown out.
