Family Tree with Errors

Hey!
Encountered a family tree, which may connect with mine from Norderhov, but a lot of it seems questionable.
Essentially, I am starting with Hansine Olava Olsdatter Mælingen of whom I found:
Birth: 17 Oct 1867 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
Baptism: 28 Jun 1868 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000020376910
From there I got father Ole Hansen Mælingen and mother Karen Olsdatter. I was able to find an additional three siblings of Hansine:
Hans Christian Olsen Honenfos?
Birth: 21 Aug 1862 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
Baptism: 15 Nov 1862 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway

Anders Olsen Mælingen
Birth: 11 Aug 1874 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
Baptism: 27 Sep 1874

Twin? Hanna Olava Olsdatter Mælingen
Birth: 17 Oct 1867 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
Baptism: 28 Jun 1868 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000030558461
From there I found the Marriage on 15 Nov 1862 where Ole Hansen Nerdre Honenfos? is listed as 26 (~1836) and Karen Olsdatter Gjermundbo eie? (Northeast of Hønefoss) 27 (~1835). One of the witnesses seems to be Hans Mælingen, so I would say this fits. Likewise, it lists Ole's father as Hans Christiansen Hangen?, although their family tree has it as Hansen. What does this mean, is this a name or a farm name? Karen's father is listed as Ole Halvorsen.

Now the tree claims that this Karen Olsdatter from Northeast of Hønefoss is the same as Karen Olsdatter Gjellerud, which I only find in Flesberg roughly 60 miles southwest of Gjermundbo. Her parents are claimed to be Ole Halvorsen and Anne Abrahamsdatter Gjellerud Eie. What do you all make of this?
Birth: 30 Mar 1835 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway
Baptism: 5 Jul 1835 Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway

The tree also claims a birth date of 25 Oct 1836 for Ole Halvorsen Malingen in Honefoss, Buskerud, Norway. I was unable to verify or find the record. The father is listed as Hans Christan Hansen Malingen, born 6 Jun 1811 in Leirke, Norderhov, Buskerud, Norway with a death of 2 Aug 1851 in Norway. The mother is listed as Dorthea Olsdatter Halvorsdatter, baptized on 15 Feb 1801 in Norderhov, with a death on 19 Jan 1866 in Hønefoss, Norway (Chicken Falls, Norway). A) What's going on with that double name for the mother and B) what is Chicken Falls? This all needs clearly some cleaning up
Best Regards,
