I am new to the List and looking for help to find St. Josephs Catholic Church in Mendota or in a town very closeby. I am seeking to trace my gggrandmother's Bambeck family. According to information I've received, two daughters of Veronica Bambeck Rosenberg Hiermeier (perhaps my ggrandmothers sister) became nuns at Joliet's convent of St.Francis of the Immaculate Conception. Mary Ann Rosenberger final vows 3 Sep 1866 and took the name Sister Mary Angela. Her 1/2 sister Anna Veronica Heirmeier took her final vows 12 July 1874 and took the name Sister Eusebia. Convent records indicate their home parish was St. Joseph's/Mendota. I have found the family of Martin Hiermeier in the 1870 Census/Mendotta. I am unable to find a St. Joseph's today in Mendota and wonder if the church is in a town very close by. Thank you. Janet Pierson Evertsen
