Re: Manns , African American girls, WOW

Wow!I never dreamed that one little posting would help anyone so quickly.The Catalogue of Pupils of Saint Frances Academy is actually on-line at the American Memory web site.You may find other bits of interesting information there which will expand the story of your family.I'm a firm believer that our family's history is not just dates of births and dates of death.There was a lot of living in-between.The Catalogue tells what the girls were taught, boarding fees, the strict rules and regulations, etc. which certainly will expand Margaret's story for you and tell you a bit of how she lived as a young girl at school.

Just cut and past this address and you can read the catalogue.When you get to the page, you can click on FULL TEXT and read each page.Good luck!
