I'm looking for passenger lists for the Ship Thingvalla for the year 1889. Any Suggestions? My Grandmother Christina M. Nelson immigrated to the US from Denmark on this ship in 1889 and I'm not sure of the month of sailing.

You should be looking for the list on the NARA films covering the New York arrivals that year. Are you sure you are looking for the steamship Thingvalla, and not ships owned by the steamship company Thingvalla?
The S/S Thingvalla arrivals to New York in 1889:
Feb. 25, Apr. 18, June 15, Aug. 3, Sept. 4, Dec. 12

The names of the ships of Thingvalla Line in 1889 were:
Hekla, Island, Danmark (nee Jan Breydel) and Norge (nee Pieter de Coninck). The two latter were bought from Engels Line, after the disaster with Thingvalla and Geiser in 1888. "Denmark" was lost 1889, and "Norge" in 1904.
