A nun in the family!

I just found out that we have a nun in the family. (I have lots of long lost relatives that I never knew existed...kind of sad really...) I'm going to look her up next time I make it to the old homestead.

I was wondering...how many of you have a nun, monk, priest, minister, etc. in your family?

I thought at one time one of my son's was going to be a priest! But has changed his mind about 10 times since! He is real involved in church!!
I think he would enjoy it!!
No he wants to be a lawyer and work in the public defenders office and do
probono work!!

My uncle is a baptist preacher!! When my dad died he did his service, I could have not done that for a sister or brother, but he did well!
He is not to be confused with the alcoholic uncle in LA!!!

I think we have one of everything!!

Well, my father was supposed to become a priest, being the youngest son and therefore not having any claim on any of the land inheritance, especially with three older brothers*. Obviously, he didn't... :D (Can hardly imagine him, with his rebellious nature against authority figures, submitting to the Church. Probably just as well he ran away when he did from the seminary prep school his father had sent him to....)

However, I have this gaping chasm in my own family history, insofar as I have never met any of my mother's relatives, or even know who they are. She had four sisters and one brother; I believe one sister died in her teens, and the brother may have died from cancer, but not before he married and had children of his own. I have photographs, but no names, and a vague idea where my mother's sisters might have been living in Poland at the time my mother died, but my father steadfastly refuses to tell me anything, claiming he can't remember, it was too long ago, etc. etc. Well, he's 91 years old now, so I suppose that's legit, but I've been asking him for years, and the answer has always been the same, so the whole "I don't remember" is just a cover, in my opinion. :mad:

All I have is my father's side of the family, which, before WWII, were landed aristocracy, one branch of which can trace their history back to 1600. If there were any religious among them, I'd have to pay megabucks to find out, from a history professor who's done work on tracing the family.

--------

*Now that I think of it, he's the only surviving son - none of his brothers ever married or had children, so if it were possible for him to reclaim his property in Poland, he has the right to. However, I don't think the government in Poland has gone so far as to restore family holdings to the families that had them before Communism, especially to ex-pats who are believed dead - which is another long story I won't bore you with here.

Smile dammit!
Well i have loads of relatives in Ireland but they would probably drink the communion wine before every service!
I would not be surprised if one of them was involved in some way. Religion is very strong still,and a parish priest has immense influence.

That's an interesting find, KimonoSoul!

And here I thought it was the title for Seagal's next movie. (I mean he did visit that Hustle and Flow thing looking for HPD2 potential and all) :D
