Don,
This forum is pretty good for finding things. But your inquiry is lacking a lot of information, which should be provided so a search can be started.
Do you know which fylke, farm or parish they came from. There are only eleven Chrirsian Fredricksen's listed for the 1865 census.

| Christian Fredrickson was born May 10,1833 in Stavenger, Norway according to my info. Wife was Constance Ellefson born April 1, 1833 also in Stavenger. My grandmother, their daughter, Fannie said she was born in Oslo July 7, 1863. They are not listed in New York city records for arrival in U.S. Perhaps in Quebec to ? |

| Thank you so much for your information. It is much more than I expected. Can you now direct me to the place where I can learn about their emmigration to US? |

In the past few days you've undoubtedly already read the many articles on the subject on this website so you know what years the various Norwegian ports started keeping records of emigrants leaving. The other option already discussed was finding them in their port of arrival.
Check for records of entry through ports in New York area. The US National Archives (NARA) has a complete list of US official ports of entry for immigration -
http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/immigration/passenger-arrival.html#film
http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/passrecs.html
For example, they have microfilmed copies of the actual passenger lists of vessels arriving at the New York, NY port during the time period 1820--1897 that required 675 reels of microfilm.
