Braheny Sisters

Five of Six Braheny Sisters

Six daughters and two sons were born to Patrick and Mary McCole Braheny.  In this photograph, probably from the late 1930s, are shown Sr. M. Ignatia, SP, and Sr. M. Genevieve, SP. The others are three of the four: Kathleen Braheny Hayes, Florence Braheny Moran, Millie Braheny, and Edna Braheny Cloud. The two religious were members of the Sisters of Providence of St. Mary of the Woods, Terre Haute, Indiana. All the Brahenys were all born in Chicago between 1875 and 1894.

I would be happy to hear from anyone who can identify the sisters.

    I can identify Edna Margaret Braheny to the far left of your photo. She was my grandmother on my father’s side (Robert Cloud). Next to her is Sr. Ignatia. The other nun on the right is Sr. Mary Genevieve. I don’t know who is who among the other two Braheny sisters but Lilian died in 1937. My Braheny family knowledge is posted on Ancestry.com under Cloud Family Tree. Thanks for sharing your family info.
