Well the 1910 US Census seems to give a different fathers name. Although Sigvart Hanson would not likely have an Ole for a father. I think the father of Elsie his wife is Ole Hendircksen. See the birth record.

Looks like he traveled from Norway to the US through Canada after he was a US Citizen. Nothing in the manifest about where in Norway.

Else Marie age 5 on Fallet Nedre with her parents and a brother Hans age 1, leaseholders with land in 1865
Her father Ole H. is from Eidsdvoll
Else Marie was bapt. Else Marie Olsdr, she was Oles daughter. Norwegian naming practice. Because she used Henriksen as lastname in USA I believe she em. with her parents.

Thank you all for the information! So far, thanks to the links that everyone provided, I've been able to see Sigvart's parents and siblings; I've also seen that his maternal grandmother's name is Kari Kristeinsdatter, and his paternal grandfather's first name is most likely Gundbrand. But other than that I haven't found much.
I also was able to find out more about Sigvart's wife, Elsie. The things I was able to find was her parents: Ole Hendrickson and Berthe Marie Larson. I found more information about Ole Hendrickson's family than Berthe's, such as his parents (Hendrick Larsen Ulvin and Martha Simensdatter) and his grandparents (Lars Torstensen Holtet Nedre of Eidsvold and Mari Larsdatter Holtet Nedre of Eidsvold). I am unsure what the names Ulvin, and Holtet Nedre mean, because I was under the assumption that if a name ended in -sen/son or -datter, that was the person's last name. This is where I found the information on Elsie, and also on her parents and grandparents, which is where the question regarding Ulvin and Holtet Nedre came from:http://www.geni.com/people/Else-Marie-Hanson/6000000029211033043 Any more help would be great, and I really appreciate all of the time everyone has taken so far. |

Ulvin and Holtet Nedret are farmnames. Holtet Nedre means Lower Holtet.
There are also several Ulvin farms as; Søndre (Southern), Øvre (Upper) and Nordre (Northern) Ulvin. Not sure on which Ulvin farm your People lived on, here is Nordre Ulvin 1953 and Søndre Ulvin 1959 and Picture nr 3-4-5 on top is Nordre (Northern) Ulvin ca 1927
Ulvin (Okarn) Eidsvoll 1964
