FamilySearch has transcribed parish records and show Olefina was born 15 Jan 1864 and christened 17 Apr 1864 with the name Oluffine Olesdatter in Kvernes, Møre og Romsdal. Her parents were listed as Ole Baardsen Almvig and Anne Lavine Olsdatter. However, the Digitalarkivet site does not list this birth in the Kvernes records, instead this record appears in the Kristiansund records. The church book has obviously been in a fire, but the entry for Olefina is clear. The page number has been burned away but the entry is about halfway down the page, image #151.

In the Minnesota Marriage index, she is recorded as "Fena Almvig", 20 Sep 1924 in Fillmore County, MN. Also as "Fena Almdahl" in the MN Death Index.

(Olefina's gravestone is inscribed with a birth of 16 January but her birth was 15 January.)
