Mimi, do you have a copy of Sr. Monica's death certificate. You can request a copy from the Baton Rouge Archives, Vol. 123, page 396 for $5.00. She was 73 when she died Oct. 4. 1900 and the certificate may give you more information. There may be an obit in the Times Picayune on Oct. 6 or 7th, 1900. You can request a look up from the library for $3.00 Good luck, Merle Ann Mimi Stevens wrote: >> More info on Teresa Stulz aka Sister Mary Monica >> > > b. abt 1825 possibly Germany, but emigrated from Strasbourg (Alsace > Lorraine) via LeHavre, France. > in May 1836 aboard "Europe".
