The stories of these women are largely forgotten, hidden in scattered archives, obscured by name changes and frequent relocations, fading from family and community memory with each passing generation. This guide shows you how to identify a woman's religious order and locate its archives, how to find women religious in other kinds of records (censuses, etc.), and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this book to discover more about the women who devoted their lives in this unique kind of service.
