Research Notes:
In the Norway marriage record for Jorgen and Berit Olsdatter, Jorgen's father is recorded as Jakob Jonsen from Elgaaen.
Based on the FamilySearch FT [see below] a brother to Jorgen Elgaaen was Rasmus Elgaaen who emigrated to SD in 1882
For more information on Jorgen's family see the FamilySearch FT
Note: according to the FamilySearch FT [id, MW4M-TJX for Jorgen Elgaaen], Jorgen had a brother named Rasmus Elgaaen born 21 Nov 1859; and Rasmus Elgaaen along with a wife and son emigrated in 1882. Rasmus' family is recorded in the 1900 US Census for Svedrup Twp, Minnehaha Co, SD [ED 0267; sheet 1A; dw/fam 3/3]
... so this is likely why Jorgen and Berit went to or first settled in Minnehaha Co, SD
again, FamilySearch FT ... another brother, Ole Elgaaen b 1862 had died in 1931 at Minnehaha Co, but provides no source or family
and then FamilySearch FT .. a brother, Jacob Knundsen Elgaaen, b 1865 and died in 1940 in Ramsey Co, ND .... BUT I doubt that this is correct, since the patronymic is Not right - if this was a brother then, the patronymic should be Jacobsen/Jakobsen
