NOTES:
- Only nuns with place associations by birth or parentage are included in the analysis.
- An individual nun may have associations with multiple places through her birth and her parents (the maximum number of associations for a single nun in the database is 5).
- An individual nun may have multiple associations with the same region or associations with more than one region.
- Consequently, all figures in this analysis are counts of associations rather than individuals.
