Isdahl is the name of a farm.
It is always difficult to trace unmarried persons, Jacob Olsen is not in the 1865 census for the area where Olava was born. Where he might have gone is not easy to say, I have tried the nearest parishes, but no hit. Another aspect is that Jacob Olsen was a common name and we don't know his age or place of birth.
