Yep, prior to the Name Act, people living in the countryside (in Norway) typically had patronymics (with the exemption of the burgoisie, who had surnames such as i. e. Hagen, Burchard, Davidsen, Nannestad, Holtermann, to name a few); if a father had the given name Peter Ludvig and the patronymic Larsen, then his son(s) would have the patronymic 'Petersen' (meaning 'the son of Peter'); while his daughter(s) would have the patronymic 'Petersdatter' (meaning 'the daughter of Peter', or literally: 'Peter's daughter'). Although, I have seen instances of where the father had dropped a part of his given name; so, Peter Ludvig Larsen would in the parish registers and State Censuses be Ludvig Larsen, instead of Peter Ludvig Larsen. As a result, his childrens' patronymics changed from Petersen to Ludvigsen (for the sons), and Petersdatter to Ludvigsdatter (for the daughters). I mostly do Norwegian genealogy.

As a Norwegian, I thought you did a fantastic job on your pronunciation of the given name 'Ole' as well as the patronymic 'Olesen.'
