I know that my great grandmother and her siblings traveled to Norway, we are assuming Bergen, in 1903 after both their parents died. I can find one sibling who stayed in Norway and would die in 1940 of typhus, but all the rest of the children went back to the US, probably through Boston since that is where my great grandmother met my great grandfather.

I cannot find their ship manifest. No idea of the ship name or date of sail. Thoughts? Their mother's maiden name was Magnesen in the US, Rasmusdatter in Norway
