CN basically gave the pronunciations, just thought I'd add a little tidbit. The -dorff in Ollendorff probably comes from German "dorf", meaning village. Ollen looks like it came from German "alle" meaning all.

Ollendorff- it's more or less pronounce as it looks Ollen-dorf
Liljemark- Lil-yeh-mahrk
Fälldin- Fell-deen
I would say that Liljemark and Fälldin are definitely Swedish but Ollendorf is probably not originally from Sweden.
