He lived first at Skiftun in Hjelmeland. He married first to Torbjørg (Torborg) Halvaardsdtr from Randa in Fister, Hjelmeland. They had 3 children: Ola (b. 1600) of Yrkje & Lindanger who married Ingrid Jakobsdtr. Ikdal, Ingeborg (b. 1600) who married Ola Nilsson and lived in Haukås in Sveio, and Toger (b. 1602) unmarried who lived in Lindanger. He married second to NN Eriksdtr. (sister of Bjørn Erland) and they had 8 children. He married a third time to Johanna Eilivsdtr., but there were no children of record from this last marriage.
From Tysvær bygdebok vol. 4: Holger lived at Lindanger from approximately 1600 until he died in the middle of the century. Since Holger was married to three women, there is some uncertainty as to who is the mother of his different children. He was one of the jurors from all over the country who signed letters to pay homage to Prince Kristian V in 1610. He proved to be a strong and good man both at home on the farm and in the community. In 1624 he owned land in farms Straum, Yrkje, Fikstveit, Nedra Vikadal, Øvra Nes, Rønnevik, Tjøstheim, Haugsland, Skiftun, Midthauge, Fikstveit, Meland, Kalstveit, Børkjeland and "Thuederaaen." He was moreover owner of his "eigen" (owner) farm, Lindanger. He owned a share of the sawmill at Yrkje.

He was married to NN Eriksdtr.
