                       I’m looking for the ship manifests for this family. I know most, if not all of them, were in the 1875 Norway Census and some of them started showing up in the US Census in 1880 or later. The US Census data shows they probably came to the US between 1878 and 1881.
  Name					Gender		DOB		Birthplace Peder Kristiansen			Male		       1829		Vaaler Hellene Ulrikke Halvorsdatter	Female		1828	Gjæsaasen Aasnæs Carl Pedersen				Male		10 JAN 1854 Anton Pedersen			Male		12 NOV 1855	Vaaler Prgj Halvor Pedersen			Male		7 DEC 1857	Vaaler Prgj Pauli Pedersen			Male		24 OCT 1859	Vaaler Prgj Herman Pedersen			Male		3 JUL 1861	Vaaler Prgj Anne Marie Pedersdatter	Female	6 JUL 1863	Vaaler Prgj Rekka Pedersdatter			Female	1 JAN 1866	Vaaler Prgj Kristiane Pedersdatter		Female	2 JAN 1868	Vaaler Prgj Karen Pedersdatter			Female	9 OCT 1870	Vaaler Prgj Gunerius Pedersen			Male		26 JUL 1873	Vaaler Prgj
  Some of the family initially settled in Minnesota or North Dakota. After arriving in the US, the surname became Hammer and some of the first names appear “Americanized”. Peter Christiansen Helen Carl August Hammer Anton P Hammer Halvor P Hammer Paul Pedersen Hammer Herman Hammer Annie Marie Pedersen Hammer Rachel Hammer Christina Hammer Carrie Hammer Gilbert P Hammer
  Thanks for your help, Tom

                       Here is a good part of the family leaving in 1880. Or at least seven of them.

                       Here is a  Karl leaving in 1881, Karl might have been married with a child by then?

                       Thank You! Not sure if this Karl is the same one. I found a reference that shows Carl and Pauli Pedersen may have departed Liverpool and arrived in New York on 21 April 1879. Can you find this reference? My records show Carl was married in Minnesota in 1887, but he could have had a prior marriage.
  Also, here is the remaining family members and the year a US Census shows they immigrated: Peder (don't know), Anton (1878), Halvor (1881), Paul (1879).

                       That is a good find for Carl and Pauli, here is the Ancestry transcriptions.
  Carl Pederson  in the New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Name:	Carl Pederson Arrival Date:	21 Apr 1879 Birth Date:	abt 1854 Age:	25 Gender:	Male Ethnicity/ Nationality:	Norwegian Place of Origin:	Norway Port of Departure:	Liverpool, England Destination:	United States of America Port of Arrival:	New York, New York Ship Name:	City of New York
  Pauli Pederson  in the New York, Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Name:	Pauli Pederson Arrival Date:	21 Apr 1879 Birth Date:	abt 1860 Age:	19 Gender:	Female Ethnicity/ Nationality:	Norwegian Place of Origin:	Norway Port of Departure:	Liverpool, England Destination:	United States of America Port of Arrival:	New York, New York Ship Name:	City of New York
  Here is the emigration of Pauli, unmarried worker.

  And Carl

  In the older data base Pauli is listed as a male so I think you have found two more of the family.

                       Maybe Halvor was 1878. Here is a good candidate.

  Likely his arrival into New York. I would ignore the nationality, the list of people marked as German have a very Norwegian flavor.

                       This might be your Peder Christensen leaving Vaaler in 1879. See number 40 right hand page 
   #40 
  If I am reading it correctly it looks as if the farm name after him is Stathammer. 
  Not an easy find but I will bet this is him under the name Peder C. Strathammer. Leaving on July 4, 1879.

                       peder, I think this entry for Carl A Hammer is a child of a different family (Knudt & Anna) and/or a grandson to Peder Christiansen, not his son. It says he is 1 year old and born in Dak (assume it means Dakota Territory, USA).

                       Usually when I find the emigration record I can then find the arrival record. Not easy fro your Peder Christiansen however. Many of the people leaving at the same time as Peder did arrived July 19 on the Circassian. The date is about right but I can not find any trace of him on that ship. Here is one of the passengers who left Norway the same date as Peder and is in the WebMeta List. There are several others leaving on that same date also on this ship. 
  Petter H Stubard  in the Canadian Passenger Lists, 1865-1935 Name:	Petter H Stubard Gender:	Male Age:	24 Birth Year:	abt 1855 Date of Arrival:	19 Jul 1879 Vessel:	Circassian Port of Arrival:	Quebec, Quebec, Canada Port of Departure:	Liverpool, England; Londonderry, Ireland
  The closest find is a Peder Christiansen arriving on the Sarmatian on July 13, however this date is a little short for the usual trip time and his birth year is way off. But the original document is very difficult to read so maybe?

                       lyndal40, have you found anything on Anton? A US Census shows his immigration date as 1878, so I wonder if maybe he was travelling with Halvor.

                      |  No, no sign of Anton, rather strange. If you check the WebMeta link I posted for Halvor you will see that Halvor is traveling  alone. With what we know he should not be this hard so the only thing to do is keep looking. |
