Bjørn Olson Hilmen (Ben Hillman) b: 1847 in Valdres, Norway

HILMEN - HILLMAN

I live in Norway and I am searching for descendats of two of my great grandmoter´s brothers. They immigrated from Valdres, Norway to Sioux City, Iowa.
Their surnames was Hilmen, but I think they did change the name to Hillman.
The oldest one was baptized Bjørn Olson Hilmen, and I think he came via Quebec, Canada around 1870. I have read somewhere that he change his name to Ben O. Hillman. He was born in Valdres, Norway in 1847 to Ole Bjørnson Hilmen and Kari Eriksdatter.
The other one was named Ole Olson Hilmen and he immigrated to Iowa in 1888. I think Ole was born about 1866/67.
I think Bjørn died in 1913 and Ole in 1940.
I would be thankful if anyone have any information.
Sincerly
