Yes, they were on that voyage:

Thingvalla, arrived New York December 5, 1882
#37, 38 and 39, their names were even spelled correctly.

Total number of passengers - 209

Niels listed as a farmer with a total of 2 pieces of luggage.

Destination: USA

If you have access to a local Family History Center, the passenger list microfilm # 1027030 can be rented there:
