Hei, I don't remember if I replied to this query or not. I'm the genealogist for the Valdres Samband Lag. We only have records for Valdres, so perhaps we have records for Ole Rudlang, if there is more information on him. What was his father's name? What year was he born? Would be happy to help, if I can.
