My Bestapa was raised by his grandmother who immigrated from Norway in 1880. Her name was Anna Amble and this is a picture of her church that she brought with her. We would absolutely love to give Bestapa more information about where she was from. He always talked about going there, but unfortunately he never did. I know this may sound crazy because all I have is this 145 year old blury picture and the fact that she was from the east end of Sognefijord but does anyone recognize it? God knows if it'd still be around today, but crazier things have happened.

You must be kidding. Do a reverse image search.
Just did some quick googling and found a farm in the eastern parts of Sognefjorden called Amblegård in the town of Kaupanger, which also has an old stave church. It does not look like the church in your photo unfortunately, but I bet you could find the spot by checking Google Maps.
