Snubba is a village at Borgen in Evenes
Could the farm be Liland instead of Livang?

Possibly?
Selma Andrea Nikoline Nilsen (26 May 1901 - 27 Jan 1954), Lenvik cemetery, Evenes, Nordland, Norway.
Buried next to her is Nils Olai Nilsen Lenvik (15 Apr 1899 - 15 Jun 1954):
Chr record for Nils Olai.
Nordland county, Evenes in Ofoten, Parish register (official) nr. 863A11 (1897-1906), Birth and baptism records 1899, page 37.
Census-1910 for Nils Olai.
Parents are Harald Andreas Nilsen & Johanna Johansdatter.
Hmmm... Nils Olai married a woman named Jenny in 1930...

The date of birth do not correspond, Jan Peter.
Did Selma had a nameake or a wrong birth date.
Selma Andrea Nikoline Andreassen b. Mai 29. 1905 in Evenes married Nikolai Nilsen b. March 8. 1909 in Trondenes on June 21. 1936, see #4/5

Liland does sound correct!! I remember her mentioning Liland Farm. I believe it was in her Mother's family. So this is what I am gathering from the information you gave me
My Great Grandmother was Selma Andrea Nikoline Andreassen b. Mai 29. 1905
My Great Granfather was Nikolai Nilsen b. March 8. 1909
Thank you so much for your help it is much appreciated!! I am trying to track down my ancestory in Norway. This is all so interesting!

Hi.
Liland was just a shot in the dark.
I think the name was americanized.
Lenvikmark or Lenvik was the farm, and you are absolutely right, Lenvikmark was called Snubba, local it means "a little shorter"
It´s a very rare name and in Norway the name Snubba only exist on Lenvikmark.

From 1882 to ca 1949 in one of the houses on Lenvikmark (Snubba) was the school for this area.
Enter this map.
Spell;
"Lenvikmark gamle skole"
Click on SĜK and watch the farm.
