There are at least a couple persons who have posted as volunteers to do limited lookups in Norwegian books they own - appear to include Årdal in Sogn og Fjordane.

Hello.
The easiest way is to fly from Trondheim to Sogndal Airport .
The distance from Sogndal Airport to Årdal is ca 30 Miles by car/bus.

most likely the one in question. Also and Erik Eriksen, Hofland arrived the same time - possibly her husband to be?
