More Details - Fanny married Orm and settled in Norway, giving birth to two daughters. She travelled alone from Bergen to New York (13 Oct 1914) listing her final destination as Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. The passenger list shows her travelling alone. She does list Orm's father as "next of kin". On an earlier date (18 Jan 1914) there is a passenger list showing Orm (listed as a jeweller) travelling alone. There seems to be records of Fanny living in Brooklyn and New York as a nurse and servant as early as 1920. There is a note that she died in Norway in 1950. Orm settled in Mannville Alberta with his brothers - there are several land documents in the names of Orm, Marie, Hans, Haakon and Ralph. Much of that part of the family still lives in Mannville and Vermillion.
