Nancy~ You will need to know the name of the order of nuns your ancester belonged. Also, the time line is quite important too. Religious orders over the centuries, have changed names, joined other orders and had a new name, and the main mother house may not have been in Rome but elsewhere. Thus, if you are seeking archival records if they would exist, would most likely be at the main mother house which exists today.
