Yes I suspect that the Erling in the original post is the son of Olga not a sibling.

There is one fairly good Tree on ancestry.com that covers Sigvalds siblings.

Johannes Andreassen Brådland 1850–
Elen Berdine Andreassen 1877– Olga Johannesdatter 1879–1977 Anton Johannessen Dåvøy 1886–1904 Sigvald Emil 'Walter' Johannessen Dåvøy 1887–1961 Elen Leonora Johannesdatter Dåvøy 1889–
I don't think Olga lived quite that long. The year of death 1971 in the Geni profile serms quite well documented. |

As per usual there are some Trees on Ancestry with a more likely death date and one that matches the Geni record.
Olga Johannesdatter 1879–1971 BIRTH 3 NOV 1879 • Vig - Spind i Herad DEATH 1971 • Spind, Vest-Agder, Norway
The likely incorrect ones use a death record for an Olga Andreassen born in 1882 and died in 1977.
Name Olga Andreassen Social Security Number 083-14-2188 Birth Date 21 Jun 1882 Issue year Before 1951 Issue State New York Last Residence 703, (U.S. Consulate) Oslo, Norway Death Date Aug 1977

Wow. I am in awe. We have a family heritage book that offers a glimpse of the ancestry--photos of my lineal ancestors and maybe a brief mention of siblings, aunts, uncles or cousins. Once I put this all together, I will turn my attention to Sigwald's wife's family from Stavanger. The family home is "preserved" as the office for the canning museum in Stavanger. I have a bit more information about them, dating to the early 1800's. |

According to one of the more useful Trees on Ancestry Berthe and her family also came to America. However I wonder about the birth place for Olava. There are no sources for her birth place so that needs to be checked.
Tønnes Michalsen 1845–1924 BIRTH 26 SEPTEMBER 1845 • Stavanger, Stavanger kommune, Rogaland fylke, Norway DEATH 28 JANUARY 1924 • Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, United States of America
OLAVA KAROLINE AMALIE GULBRANDSDATTER LOKEN *32* 1845–1924 BIRTH 8 JUL 1845 • Moss, Ostfold, Norway DEATH 17 AUG 1924 • Chicago, Cook, Illinois |

Following the 1865 Census perhaps the Tree is correct. It also shows several birth places for father, mother and children. Gulbrand moved his family around a lot.
Olava Garaline Amalie Løken in the 1865 Norway Census Name Olava Garaline Amalie Løken Gender Kvinnelig Marital Status Ugift (Single) Age 21 Birth Year abt 1844 Birth Place Moss Census year 1865 City Stavanger County Rogaland County Number 11 Counting District Number 0370 Enumeration District Strandens Rode Enumeration District Number 000 Relation to Head Datter (Daughter) House List Number 612 House Number 01 Household Members (Name) Age Relationship Gulbrand Johnsen Løken 54 Husfader (Head) Anne Marie Løken 54 Hustrue Hakon Oluf Løken 26 Søn (Son) Ida Mathilde Løken 25 Datter (Daughter) Olava Garaline Amalie Løken 21 Datter (Daughter) Gustav Løken 16 Søn (Son) Anne Jacobsen 43 Huusmoder Inger Jacobsen 19 Datter (Daughter) Karen Jacobsen 16 Datter (Daughter) Jacob Jacobsen 13 Søn (Son) Anna Jacobsen 9 Datter (Daughter)
