Egelands': Fjellberg & Valestrand, Hordaland, NOR

Lars Svendsen, Espenes & Magnhild Mikkelsdtr, Vihovde had at least 10 children. A number of the descendants have the surname, "Egeland" now because they lived on the Egelenad Gaard.
I am looking for one of their sons, Sven Larson of Egeland. He was born 4 Mar 1866, married Anna Kristiandtr, Bilstad on 19 Apr 1893, immigrated to the USA from Grimstad on 16 Feb 1894 alone and then again on 9 Sep 1897 with his wife and child, Ingrid (b) 1894.They may have had up to five children.
No one in the USA or Norway knows what happened to Sven, Anna, and their descendants - we believe they lived in New York (worked at Cunner Line Cargo?) but are not even sure if they took the surname of Egeland - - or stayed in the USA - - - Maybe you know something????
