There is a Family Tree on Ancestry.com that covers this family in some detail. Here is some of the information on this tree.

Herman Alexander Johansen
1878–1953
BIRTH 4 OCT 1878 • Sande, Vestfold, Norway
DEATH 21 SEPT 1953 • Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota, USA

Married to

Alvine Ella Helen Kruger

BIRTH 25 AUG 1888 • Zimmerman, Minnesota, USA
DEATH 19 APR 1971 • Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota

Father and mother are listed as

Anne Joanne Andersen
1849–1906
BIRTH 04 NOV 1849 • Amot, Modum, NORWAY
DEATH 01 FEB 1906 • Norway

Johan and Anne had nine children listed in this Family Tree. Many of them seemed to have stayed in Norway. The site for exmaple lists this one as a brother to Herman.

Nils Greger Johansen
1878–1964
BIRTH 4 OCT 1878 • Sande, Vestfold, Norway
DEATH 12 JAN 1964

The record for his death is given also on Ancestry.com

Nils Greger Johansen
in the Web: Norway Burial Index, DIS-Norge, 1700-2010
Name: Nils Greger Johansen
Death Date: 12 Jan 1964
Burial Date: 1964
Burial Place: Sande, Vestfold, Norway

I would assume that this family has many descendants still living in Norway.

Ancestry.com has a data base of Norwegian Baptism records. In these records they at times do not use the Norwegian naming practice of naming the son after the father. So in the case of your Herman Johansen they have given him the last name of his father. Interesting he is a twin.

Herman Alexander Hansen
in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927
Name: Herman Alexander Hansen
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 4 okt 1878 (4 Oct 1878)
Baptism Date: 9 okt 1878 (9 Oct 1878)
Baptism Place: Sande, Vestfold, Norway
Name Note: twin
Father's Age: 19 Sep 1835
Mother's Age: 4 Nov 1849
Father: Johan Hansen
Mother: Anne Johanne Andersdatter
FHL Film Number: 1282553
Reference ID: bk 6 p 11 no61

Apparently the Nils Gregor that I mentioned above is the twin brother of Hermann Alexander. The baptism records from Digitalarkivet Parish Records can be found by clicking below and looking at numbers 61 and 62.

Hi cousin. I am Paul Bauer Johnsen. My Grandfather Andrew was your great Grandfather Herman's brother. Google "Klevjer farm" and you will get a picture of the farm taken by cousin Larry Johnson (Herman's Grandson) from Texas, and pictures of relatives including your great great grandparents Johan and Anne. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions especially about the difference in spelling. I live in Minnesota - Minneapolis west suburbs
