Agnesians

'Sisters of Saint Agnes' kan ook, is iets officieler. Als je op deze termen googlet, vind je veel informatie (meer dan ik hier kan geven). De verwijzing hieronder is er 1 van vele.

Bonnefanten waren Zusters van het Heilige Graf (Sepulcrinessen) in o.a. Maastricht. In het klooster aldaar werden kinderen opgevange (les bonnes enfants - vandaar de naam). Je kunt 'Bonnefanten' vertalen met Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre. Of het belangrijk is om te vermelden dat ze uit Maastricht (of Hasselt) kwamen, kun je zelf het beste inschatten, denk ik.

Sisters of St. Agnes

Or also "nuns of St. Agnes".

Due to my own first name, I happen to know about St. Agnes, who was an early Christian martyr. I'm not a Catholic myself so don't know much about the history of her followers, but have found several references about convents of St. Agnes, including the term "Agneten"

I imagine "Bonnefanten" may be followers of St. Bonifatius? (That part I am not sure about.)

Mirjam\'s answer clarifies that I was wrong with my guess about \"Bonnefanten\", should have stuck with what I did know about St.Agnes.
