Seeking help on ancestors in Bruvik Vaksdal Dale

The older sister to my great-grandmother—both born in Sogndal—married a man from Lom, and they moved to Bruvik/Vaksdal area in 1878. The husband’s name was Anders Andersen Bøe and his wife was Kari/Karen Kristensdatter Grøt. Census records show the family living in Bruvik, and they are listed in the Vaksdal bygdebøk. I found Karen Bøe’s tombstone (1934) in Slekt og Data, along with pictures of tombstones of several of their children. It’s not clear to me if their graves would be in Dale or Vaksdal. Can anyone clarify? Karen Bøe tombstone https://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/bilde.php?id=2869602 Children (not all) of Anders and Karen Bøe https://www.disnorge.no/gravminner/global1.php There were at least two other children that do not appear in the search results above—Anne Marie and Konstanse. I believe that Anne Marie and her brother Albert came (separately) to the USA in early 1900s, but both eventually returned to Norway. Also, I am interested in learning if there are any living descendants of any of the Bøe children. I’m not sure of the best way to find out. Any suggestions?
