I have just learned that an ancestor of mine was a nun belonging to the order of Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut hill in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She taught at St. Joseph Academy in McSherrystown, PA, and on March 28, 1904 died there. Does anyone know how I can go about finding the convent there in the census files? How do you go about finding nuns in the census? Her name was Julia Farrell, but as a nun she was known as Sister Mary Peter. Any help will be appreciated. -- Monica Mullikin Goose Creek, South Carolina
