I am trying to find her elder brother and/ or her parents. The brother lived in Hong Kong, and he took care of his tre sisters. He was a busines man. I know the name of two of the sisters, Florence Haugland (who lived in Hong Kong and mooved to Norway in 1964) and her sister Fanny Butt who lived in Vancouver in Canada. I thing their maiden name could be Sayce/ Sayez or Sassoon. My grandmother was born in Bagdad in Iraq in 1901. she had one daughter Esther Ruth Haugland. My grandmother was in Stanley camp during the second world war.
