Åsnes Hedmark Norway

My great great grandparents Ole Jensen (I don’t know where he was born or when, but he was 40 years old at the time of the marriage in 1830). (His father was Jens Jensen) and Pernille Embretsdatter born 1803 in Hovelsaasberget (She is the daughter of Embret Embretson and Regnill Petersdatter). They married 29 Jan 1830 in Howvlsaasberget I think. They had several children, the oldest being my great grandfather Embret Olsen Berg (at some point the name Berg was added to his name, I don’t know when or why) born in 3 August 1830. They lived on the Hovelsaasberget farm 528 for a few years, then they moved to Nordermoen in Valår. Again they stayed but a few years to finally going to Midtsundstad which is, I believe, a sub farm of Glorvikåsen. It is here that I believe they both died and are buried. Ole died 20 July 1864 and Pernille 30 June 1888.
Is there someone who could help me locate the actual farms
And the graves? I would be so grateful. I am hoping to visit the area next year and I would so like to visit the actual homesteads and graves.
Embret Olsen Berg became a master shoemaker and left the Åsnes area and at some point went to Brevik Telemark Norway and married there and lived there the remainder of his life.
I do have more information if the need be. I am sorry that I do not speak or read Norwegian.
