The 1900 US census for Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Cambridge - 2nd ward) indicates a J. Leonard Christianson married to M. Gertrude with children named Inger, Thoralf, Norman and Madaline. Mr. Christianson is a photographer.
The census page lists birth months and years for each member of the family and for the head of the family it also gives a year that he immigrated to the states from Norway.
U.S. National Archives Microfilm Series: T623 Roll: 656 Page: 62
The 1910 census shows the family still in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts and son Thoralf is now listed as Ralph, children Otto, Percy and Dorothy have been added to the family. The year of immigration for the father listed in this census is different than in the previous.
The 1920 census shows the family in Reading, Middlesex County, Massachusetts. A daughter-in-law, Sarah, has joined the household.

I goofed.
I have found out that my Grandfathers fathers name was Julius, and died in 1933. His mother was Gertrude Margaret.
I do not know when they came into the United States from Norway nor have a correct birthday.
The children's names are correct.
Thanks
