Looking for ancestors of Olai Johnsen Borlaug, born 1896 son of John Jensen (Borlaug) and Kari Olsdatter (Borlaug) near Feios in Sogn.
Can read and write in Norwegian.

The district is Leikanger in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway.

It appears in the LDS Family History Library catalog that parish church records as early as 1690 for that area are available and also a published history/genealogy book for that area - "Leikaanger Bygdebok", 2 volumes by Per H. Bøthun and Roald Lyngvaer.

There's very good advice about how to use the records and this type of book at -
