Working blind so please forgive..

I am trying to find a George Olson and family... ancestor was George Olsen Jr. who was born in NY/Brooklyn around 1917. i am trying to find his parents.. i believe they were George P.Olsen Sr. who was born in Norway around 1880 and came to the US around 1900.

George Jr. born 1917 had a sister Eleanor born 1907. Eleanor was born in NJ and i was able to find George Sr. on 1910 NJ census.. so looking for any leads to his parents..

I was told the family produced a 'healing salve' and it was trademarked.. i found a small article about it in a book... so might help me in finding them.. I suspect George Sr's wife was Johanne Johansen, b. 1864 Faberg..... she was a healer and sold 'Mrs. Olsen's valuable salve" ...

...Valborg's niece Abel had already become a folk healer in ... and so had Abel's housekeeper of thirty-three years, Johanne Johansen (born 1864 in Fåberg). ... America, she continued to make Valand's famous trekkplaster for sale as "Mrs. Olsen's Salve." Available at drugstores in Brooklyn (according to Else Valand), it also ...

found a small article on the salve .. so need help in finding these person on 1900 census...

tks..
