Scope and Contents

This book contains lists of current sisters for the years 1933, 1938, 1940 and 1947. The lists begin with the Provincial Superior and past Provinicials, and then continue in order of the sisters' date of entry and/or profession. Lists of postulants and novices for the years 1934-1940 are used to update the 1933 list. In all the lists, sisters who have died or left the community are crossed out and the date of death / departure is written by their name. A cross is used to denote the death, and an "x" the departure of a sister. On pp. 148-149 totals are calculated for the number of souls in the community and at the Motherhouse for the years 1936-1940. A notation suggests that these totals are for the Catholic Directory. The purpose of this book is not clear. It is possible that it is meant to be only a running list of current sisters for statistical purposes. No information is given in the lists of sisters other than the sisters' religious names and sometimes date of death / departure.

The lists of postulants received in 1938-1940 also give baptismal and family names.
