I assume you want information on the lives of the parents in Norway. The children wee all born in America and the parents were already here in the 1860 Census living in Freeborn Minnesota as most of the others you have asked about.
Here is the family in 1870 Census. There is of course a ton of information on this family in Freeborn Minnesota.
Christopher Michelson in the 1870 United States Federal Census Name: Christopher Michelson Age in 1870: 40 Birth Year: abt 1830 Birthplace: Norway Dwelling Number: 64 Home in 1870: Bancroft, Freeborn, Minnesota Race: White Gender: Male Occupation: Farmer Father of Foreign Birth: Y Mother of Foreign Birth: Y Male Citizen Over 21: Y Personal Estate Value: 1100 Real Estate Value: 5000 Inferred Spouse: Johanna Michelson Inferred Children: Emma Michelson Clara Michelson Mina Michelson Household Members: Name Age Christopher Michelson 40 Johanna Michelson 47 Emma Michelson 15 Clara Michelson 13 Mina Michelson 10
Here is a candidate fro Nannestad where the Trogstad group comes from.
Christopher Mikkelsen in the Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 Name: Christopher Mikkelsen Gender: Male Birth Date: 29 jun 1830 Baptism Date: 11 jul 1830 Baptism Place: , Nannestad, Akershus, Norway Father: Michel Larsen Mother: Dorthe Larsdr FHL Film Number: 123356

The tough one here is of course the wife Johanna. I see in the 1860 Census that there is a Christopher Christopherson living with the family. What do you know about him.
Name: Christopher Christopherson Age: 50 Birth Year: abt 1810 Gender: Male Birth Place: Norway Home in 1860: Bancroft, Freeborn, Minnesota Post Office: Freeborn Springs Dwelling Number: 325 Family Number: 269 Occupation: Farmer Personal Estate Value: 75 Household Members: Name Age Christopher Michelson 30 Anna Michelson 37 Emma Michelson 6 Clara Michelson 3 Infant Michelson 1/12 Christopher Christopherson 50 |

Thank you for this. I did have quite a bit of the information and am aware of the large amount available in the USA, but it is Johann Mickelsen that I am looking for. I wonder if there is any information through Christopher Mikkelson. It is confusing to me because of the similarity of their names. I thought it odd to that there is another individual listed as contributing member of the household with virtually the same name. Did he have a twin? Perhaps a twenty year older one? Maybe he is an Uncle? Thank you. Jodi |

In the 1860 census Christopher Christopherson 50 yrs old is only listed ONCE! Christopher Michelson also only once. See the original - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4LT-ZP5
Go through the many US documents available and gather ALL the information about "Johanna" available. Then condense that into a concise but throrough summary and present those facts here to those of us experienced in searching Norwegian records. |

The Census data show that the oldest daughter was born in Iowa.
Emma Dorthea Mickelsen in the U.S., Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Church Records, 1826-1945Name: Emma Dorthea Mickelsen Event Type: Baptism Birth Date: 19 Sep 1857 Baptism Date: 12 Oct 1857 Baptism Place: St Ansgar, Iowa, USA Father: Christopher Mickelsen Mother: Johanne Christophede Church Name: First Lutheran Church Church Location: St Ansgar, Iowa
And a second daughter
Name: Mine Lovelle Mickelsen Event Type: Baptism Birth Date: 4 Jun 1860 Baptism Date: 5 Oct 1860 Baptism Place: St Ansgar, Iowa, USA Father: Christopher Mickelsen Mother: Johanne Christophersdr Church Name: First Lutheran Church Church Location: St Ansgar, Iowa
I would guess from these records that the wife is named Johanne or Johanna Chritophersdatter ie father has a first name of Christopher in its the various spellings that one usually finds. |

An interesting family is that of Hans Christopherson. He and wife have baptism of a child in St Answer Iowa as did Johanne and then he has a confirmation for probably the same child in Freeborn County Minnesota where Johanne and husband ended up at. Maybe we can find a connection between the two.
Name: Antonette Christophersen Event Type: Baptism Birth Date: 16 Mar 1859 Baptism Date: 5 Jun 1859 Baptism Place: St Ansgar, Iowa, USA Father: Hans Christophersen Mother: Marie Amundsdr Church Name: First Lutheran Church Church Location: St Ansgar, Iowa
Name: Antonette Christophersen Event Type: Confirmation Birth Date: 16 Mar 1859 Birth Place: Freeborn Baptism Date: 5 Jun 1859 Confirmation Date: 1 Nov 1874 Father: Hans Christophersen Mother: Marie Amundsen Church Name: Freeborn Lutheran Parish Church Location: Clarks Grove, Minnesota |

In an obituary mounted at the FAG for Johanne her death date is given as 10 Feb 1892 and an age at death of 69 y 2 m 8 d which my program calculates to a birthdate of 2 Dec 1822. |

There are about 6 churches in the Steele, Freeborn, Mower county Minnesota and Worth county Iowa which were served by a sort of early circuit riding pastor Clausen. That might be the connection. |

Interesting in that there is a Johanne born in Nannestad in Dec of 1822. Nannestad is where her husband was born.

Please clarify which information in this post is usable for Johanna Mickelson. Is it that she is or is not a candidate ? I have her buried in Freeborn County Freeborn Minnesota in February 1892. |

Found no farm named Eseth but did find a couple named Eset and Nordby under Eset. Eset vestre and Eset østre in Nannestad (which would be interesting since Peder identified family tree which gives Nannestad as origin for the family) and the others as located in Ullensaker / Ullensager. |
