Nuns really didn't keep very close tabs on their fellow nuns' "civilian" families in those days. The nun who was an informant for one of my great-great-great-aunts, for example. My GGG-aunt was over 90 years old when she died about 1920. The nun informant had her parents' names right, but not her father's place of birth (the death certificate said Armagh, Ireland, but I have tons of evidence he was born in Washington Co., KY, and none that he was born in Ireland). However, I suspect that the GGG-aunt's grandfather or great-grandfather may have been born in Armagh, and it's the only clue I have to their origin.

To me that is strange for a convent to NOT know all the vital info for one of their sisters. Best bet is to call the Sisters of Charity (502) 348-1500 and see what they have to say. G.
