Hei, There are a couple of farms by this name - very small parts of a larger farm. Do you have any kind of a date for Ole - his birthday or birth year?

On his 1893 North Dakota marriage certificate, it shows his parents as Ole and Augie Sather. It states the place of residence at the time was Valdres. Augie must be americanized for some Norwegian name. I realize that since Ole's fathers name was Ole, he would be Ole Olson . I also realize that Sather was americanized for the farm Saetre/Saethre. Are there any farms in the Valdres area? > > That's all I know of Ole and Augie (?). Where would I go from here on research?
