[#67221] Alvar family in Sande area.

[Gjest Don Alvar]

I would like to know if I still have family living in the Sande area.My father, Nick Alvar and his brother Olav Alvar came to America in the 1920's, leaving behind their parents, Ole Johan Hanssen and Marie Korneliusd. They also left behind one brother, Kornelius Sigvald Olsen. Kornelius married Olga Mathiasd. in 1920 and they had three children, Anna Marie Alvaeren - born 1921; Hilda Sofia Alvaeren - born 1923; Olav Martin Alvaeren - born 1929.Beyond that, I really know very little.Thank you very much for your help.Don Alvar
