Yes, I have found several Family Trees on Ancestry.com on the family including George. Although the birth years are different?

Thanks for all. It will yake some time to put all together. But Ida had a brother Siegvart. He used the name Olsen at Norway census 1865. He may use this or Kikebo, as the later family did. He left Norway Ckristiania 6. July 1877, destnation Granite Falls N. Dakota on skip "Angelo" |

Often an immigrant in USA is identified with a marriage record or a death record. These records tell his day-month-year of birth and place of birth, and they tell his parents' names.
What is Siegvart's day-month-year of birth? Where was he born? And will you remind us - what are his parents' names?
What name did Siegvart use in the emigration record you mention? |

Great! - thanks. Yes, I'm curious about that emigration record.
Not sure if I have the place name rendered correctly - I am geography challenged - but anyway here are Ida Olsen Kirkebø and her parents and siblings.

According to a family tree online, here are Hans Engebretson Olstad and his parents and siblings.
