I've had great success finding Norwegian ancestry back into the 1700's but zero luck finding any family records beyond 1939. The National Library in Norway was kind enough to send me two death notices published in the Bergens Tidende but I can't quite make sense of who is who except for the deceased. Any help is appreciated in understanding this information or suggestions for finding Svere and Solveig's descendants who I believe to be in Norway.
I'll try to type the info here as it appears in the clipping and have taken care to include commas where they appear in the clipping.

Finding descendants is a challenge since we don´t know where they live or their correct last names.

Both Solveig and Sverre B. Eliassen are buried at Mollendal cemetery in Bergen, Norway.
Based on this it might be possible to find the descendants listed as family through the Norwegian yellow pages.
You might write me off list at (hagangst(@)online.no) remove parenthesis around @ to reply.

Hi Donna,
I have found one of the daughters after these folks (name, address, phone-no. and facebook).
For her privacy, I will send you the details by email.

Hi, Donna! This is incredible! I stumbled across this thread today and i’m Reidar’s daughter. Granddaughter of Solveig and Sverre. How are you related to us and where in the USA are you?
