Looking for Oslo and Røyken relatives - taking a trip to Norway

Trying to help a friend Derek, before his return trip to Norway in August 2015. He has been to Røyken at least once, to see the places that his ancestors lived, but this trip he would really like to try to find living relatives in Norway, if possible. If you can help with this, please email me, flolid@msn.com

His great-grandfather Hans Sigurd Hansen was born in 1886 in Røyken, Norway.
Hans Sigurd's parents were Hans Johannessen & Severine (Sørine) Nilsdatter.
At the time of Hans Sigurd Hansen's birth they lived at Slemmestadodden. When Hans Sigurd was two years old (1888?) the family sold the farm and moved to a farm named Auke. Both farms are part of the Røyken village/area.

Hans Sigurd Hansen had at least two older sisters: Inga Johanne Hansdatter (b. Sept 19, 1874) and Hulda Hansdatter (b. Jan. 24, 1877).

Inga Johanne married Peder Wolfgang Andersen and had 4 children:
1) Arthur Andersen (b. June 27, 1901 in Oslo)
2) Ivar Andersen (b. July 28, 1903 in Oslo)
3) Margit Andersen (b. Feb. 13, 1908 in Oslo)
4) Harry Karsten Andersen (b. Oct 10, 1912) (maybe born Oct. 18)

It is possible that Harry married Dagmar Bergliot Løvstad. And used the name Løvstad.
Harry Løvstad's death was on Jan. 7, 1979 and Dagmar's was Aug 11, 2000. They were living at Sandefjordsgatan 2 C in Oslo. They are both buried at Østre Gravlund cemetery in Oslo.

Dagmar's obituary said that she was survived by the following people (first names only): Melvin, Toril, Bjørn, Tove, Kjell, Tone.

Hulda married Johan Olsen or Olsson? (b. May 5, 1867 in Sweden). In 1910 they lived at Fossum in Lier, Buskerud. They had 5 children:
1) Hartvig Johansen (b. May 20, 1895 in Røyken)
2) Karl Johansen (b. July 7, 1896 in Røyken)
3) Solveig Johansdatter (b. Nov 19, 1899 in Haugesund)
4) Einar Johansen (June 11, 1904 in Lier)
5) Hilda Johansdatter (b. Nov 22, 1909)

Derek's hope is that someone can locate any living descendants of his great-grandfather's two sisters. Any help is much appreciated. He will be headed back to the Røyken and Slemmestad area the first week of August 2015, I know this is short notice.
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
