OLESEN-Looking for any????

My grandparents came from that part of Denmark from a town (I believe) called Vehille (spelling? - sounds something like veil - la)When they settled in America they Americanized their name to "Olsen".My grandfather's name was Peter Kjar Olsen and several of his brothers also came to America. One brother was Christian Olsen. Many settled in and near Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Can you provide any information ... at all?Anything would be helpful.I am just starting my search and hardly know where to begin!
Thank you, in advance, for any help.I do have some info. but most of my Aunts and Uncles have passed as have my grandparents.
