Karen,
Hi, I've been having fun tracing the Christopherson side. Henry Christopherson, his wife Annie and 4 of the children are listed in "Norwegians in Minnesota 1880 census at the Digital Archives (probably one of the best sites in Norway). Their website is " http://digitalarkivet.uib.no/cgi-win/WebFront.exe?slag=vis&tekst=meldinga..." This is the main page, then click categories to get to the census.
Also another good source is death certificates. Minnesota does have a site listing death certificates from 1908 to 1929. The website : "http://www.mnhs.org/". They have a Henry Christopherson that died in Winona County in the 1920's and Annie Christopherson also. Frequently the certificates will list parents names and where they were born, which unfortunately will probably be only Norway and not the district that they lived.
Also check out the Mormon source "http://www.familysearch.org".
Good luck and have a great time searching the records that are available.

I'm not sure what his first name was. I was told that he (my great grandfather) owned a store in Lanesboro, MN and was in the MN legislature. Sound familiar?
Thanks!

If your gr grandfather was named Nelmer we are related. His family was in Mn and all rest of mine were in Wisconsin. We had some scattered about in northern Wi also. They were from Ullensaker, Norway originally and I have the line back to about 1700.
