Looking for information on Olaf Avelsgard (1881-1953) born and died in Minnesota and Jenny Christine Johnson (b.20 Sep 1886, d. 10 Apr 1984 in Minnesota) and their children (one child was Harvey). No information on Olaf’s parents. Jenny’s father is Anton B Johnson (b.26 May 1856 Eidsvoll, Norway. d. 3 Jun 1942, Hendrickson, MN), her mother Laura Pauline Peterson (b. Dec 1864, Norway).

It says she is from Hognesgj., Lerfald.
Hognesgj. is short for Hognesgjerdet. Must be same place as Hognesvaldet, as in her mothers marriage record.
Marriage record #67
Birth record #11
