Thank you so much Bronwen..
Did Ole get married several times? First time with Sarah and second with Ruth?
Is there any children of these marriages?
Is Marjorie Ruth and Walter Hans the children from first or second marriage?

I'm afraid I can't help you with the relationships as the indexes don't list parents names. Going by the marriage dates perhaps the Ole that married Ruth Gale is the son of Ole and Sarah and then Marjorie and Walter could be the children of Ole and Ruth. I can check the birth indexes next week to see if there is anything that might help.

Thank you , that will be a great help.

My maiden name is Bjorngaard and I am the Great Granddaughter of of Ole Hansen Bjorngaard. My Grandfather is Ole Hans Bjorngaard and my father is Ronald George Bjorngaard. Some years ago we established contact with relatives in Norway, we understand that we have some 150 relatives in Norway.
My brother and I travelled to Norway in 1988 but unfortunately were unable to locate any relatives at that time...
