    Notes 
    • According to his marriage record, his father was Ole Knutson.

      Called Ole Olsen Strand in Ambjor’s birth record in the parish records.

      He and his wife lived next door to his grandson, John M., at the time of the 1900 census.

      He is Ola Olsson Strønd, I636, in Jim’s Ellingboe tree.

      Jim says of him in his Ellingboe tree: The foremost rosemaalare in Vang. Sold farm to Andris A. Eltun in 1861. Took family to America in the spring of 1864. Bought farm in Goodhue County, Minnesota, where he painted mostly and was known as "Rosemaalaren"..

      Jim, in his VS, mistakenly has Ola Olsen marrying Berit Bøyesdatter Bø. That Berit is his step-daughter, the daughter of his wife, Berit Øysteinsdatter.

      He is Ola Olsen Strand, I6881, in Jim’s VS. Jim’s notes: De reiste til USA i 1864. Han var født på Viste i Vestre Slidre, og vokste opp på Sæbuøddin i Nord Aurdal. Faren hans Ola Knutsen Sæbuøddin eller "Aurdølingen", hadde kjøpte Strand av Ola Knutsen Søyne (Søynin) 1.3.1850. Gården ble siden delt mellom sønnen til Ola Sæbuøddin; Knut og Ola. Knut fikk sørre Strand 10/2, men solgte den siden og dro til USA i 1872.

      Ola fikk skjøte av faren 15.4.1856 for 250 spd, men solgte den til Anders Eltun i 1861. Ola ville ikke være bonde. Det var maler han ville være, og er også regnet som den største rosemaleren i Vang. "Stranda-målaren" malte kister, skap og annet over hele Vang og i mange andre bygder, bl.a. i Sogn. Det er mange av hans ting som fortsatt henger rundt på gårdene. Inntil han reiste til USA med familien sin i 1864, bodde han på flere forskjellige steder i bygda, bl. på Myre og i nørre Bø, hos søstrene til kona. I USA dro han til Goodhue County i Minnesota, der dyrket han opp en farm, men drev mest med rosemaling og ble kalt "Rosemålaren", men Frøholm skriver at dette arbeidet kastet mindre av seg der over. Det er skrevet en lang artikkel om ham i Valdres Bygdebok bind 5 side 710-713.
