Wee, Vee, Ve

There is much discussion in our family currently concerning the surnames of Wee and Vee. Two of my husbands aunts married Vee brothers - Thomas Vee and Soren (Sam) Vee. They were sons of Tomas Oleson Hjelle Vee who was born August 24, 1846 in Aardal, Sogn and died on June 6, 1913 in North Dakota and is buried at Dell Lutheran, rural Frost, Faribault Co., MN. We know this family along with the Dahl/Voldal's are from the Aardal, Sogn area of Norway. BUT, Sivert Dahl, a brother of the sisters that married the Vee brothers, married Thea R. Wee, daughter of Ola T. Wee. Ola and his wife Olina emigrated in 1892 living in Emerald Twp., Faribault Co., Mn, until approximately 1899 moving to the Ransom, North Dakota area. Many family members thought Wee was Vee spoken with Norwegian accent. Now I see that it is completely different. Is there any way we can find where Ola and Olina Wee lived while in Norway? Or is there a connection between Vee and Wee? Confusing, I know but it has been confusing to this family for many, many years! Thank you for any help!
