Religous Vocations

I have found that a large number of children of Oldenburg immigrants became
members of religious orders in the United States, especially Nuns. I would
assume the same was true of the families before they migrated here.

Is there any source of information in Oldenburg which would contain names of
persons who became Nuns or Priests in the years before 1840?

While growing up in the Sedamsville neighborhood of Cincinnati, I was
taught in elementary school by nuns from the convent at Oldenburg,
Indiana. More information can be found at

and other related sites. Perhaps if you research in this area you
might find some source for the information you want.
