Yesterday we made the drive from Paris to Bernay, where my great-aunt is buried. Mary Doyle left her parent’s farm in North Dakota to become a nun in France right after World War I, after which she took the religious name Sister Margaret. She never returned home or saw her family again, but we have a large body of letters that she wrote to home describing her time in France. #travel #France #genealogy
