Jordal Family from Norway
I have found a couple locations where people by the name of Jordal reside, or facilities with that name. The photo above is where I believe my family is from in Norway. Another reason for believing this is the source of my father's name sake is that my great grandmother's maiden name is Boyum. And, just a short distance north from here was another farm, that now is a Camping and Cabin destination, just north of the end of the fjord going north from here. So, it stands to reason that my great grandfather's and great grandmother's families lived in close proximity, here in Norway.
Below, you will find a Google Street Map of the same area, or the Jordal Farm that you can view 360 degrees.
Below that map is a video from a drone taking the viewer up the river valley and back down to a beautiful panoramic view of the full fjord.

Family of Maria Jonsdatter Boyum
Maria Jonsdatter Boyum (Jordal) was my grandfather's mother. Her parents are Jon Endreson Lidal & Synneva Olsdatter Boium
I corrected John to Jon (removing the h that was later added. Notice the name spelling change from Boium to Boyum. The "o" has a line throught it.
