Ole was not married to my greatgrandmother. I do not know if his wife came to America after him. I cannot see her in the passengerlist. Two of Oles brothers and his sister Louise lived at the home-farm all their life. They were all unmarried. I knew them and visited them sometimes. For some reason Lovise did not like to talk about her brother Ole - therefore I do not know anything about his life in America. Ole was the eldest child in the family, Bernt who Margit mentioned was the next child. Synnøve N.
