Conrad K Bye and wife Randine are first found in the 1900 US Census. Daughter Christina was born in Norway. I have a lot of information on this family in America but can not trace them back to Norway. Any help will be appreciated. The middle name of Knutsen may be speculative.

Randi or Randine or Anne Randine may have the last name of Christophersdatter if this record from ELCA is correct. Also a family tree lists Conrad's middle name as Knutsen, no source given.
Conrad K Bye
in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940
Name: Conrad K Bye
Spouse: Randi Christopher
Church Name: Canton Lutheran Church
Church Location: Canton, South Dakota
By 1905 they are found living in Minneapolis.
Conrad K Bye
in the Minnesota, Territorial and State Censuses, 1849-1905
Name: Conrad K Bye
Age: 48
Census Date: 10 Jun 1905
County: Hennepin

Birth Location: Norway
Gender: Male
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Race: White
Father's Birth Location: Norway
Mother's Birth Location: Norway
LINE: 3

Conrad can be found in the 1910, 1930, and 1940 US Census living in Minneapolis. His birth year varies from 1857 to 1861 His arrival year is given as either 1883 or 1884 that I have found. |

Oh, thats a keeper. Good find. I wonder if the K in his name is for Kristian and not for Knudsen. |

Yes agreed Knut Conrad Knutson no longer viable in any way.
Here is link to the death record transcription of Conrad's wife. Note her name given as Anna Randine and her father's name Lars Christopherson so she may be found as Larsdatter in Norwegian records?

What was the actual date Conrad and Randine married?
Here is a possible:
Konrad Kristians.
Ringsaker
23
15.09.1882
Fergus Falls
Emigranter over Kristiania 1871-1930, redigert utgave
I didn't find a Konrad Kristiansen Bye in Ringsaker but a Kristian Kristiansen Bye #37:

Okay here is a good possible in Ringsaker in 1865 1875 mentioned as a Maelerdreng, painters assistant:
http://digitalarkivet.arkivverket.no/en-gb/ft/person/pf01052059004428
At Chronicling America reported in 9 July 1909, pg 5 col 2 of the Dakota Farmers' Leader published in Canton, S.D. that Conrad Bye of Minneapolis returned for a visit with his friends. Conrad and his son are reported to have a "very successful" house painting and decorating business in Minneapolis.
An earlier paper 1904 or so mentioned that Conrad Bye had just finished painting and papering Tossini's Market.
Here is Conrad Christiansen's baptism in Nes, Hedmark 1859 #149:

I've searched the ELCA databases at archives.com several different ways but have yet to find a marriage for Conrad Bye & Randine. There was this record however which assigns him a birthplace of Hallingdal Norway. When I looked at the original entry his entry is a ditto mark of the word Norway. Hallingdal is written above Norway on the person prior to Conrad. So I take it with a grain of salt:
Conrad Bye
Death Record
Birth Place Hollinghal Noway
Death Date Mar 12, 46
Record Type death Record.
Burial Date Mar 18, 46
Church Trinity Lutheran

Randine Bye Death Record
Birth Place Norway
Death Date Apr 17, 1930
Record Type Death Record
Burial Date Apr 19, 1930
Church Trinity Lutheran
Church Location Minnesota
Event Type deaths
Each are buried in Crystal Lake cemetery |
