I need help finding his entry to either the U.S. or Canada.
Christopher Mikkelsen
He left Norway April 23, 1875 on the ship Angelo destination La Crosse Wi.
I am not sure if he was married or traveling alone.

Useful to post the emigration when trying to find a difficult subject.

Link

Meta

I did not have much luck with the Waldensian. Only 311 passengers so going through both the transcribed list looking for a name and going through the manifest looking at destinations did not turn up your guy.

Well have not found your guy yet but will keep looking. One of the reasons for posting the Meta record is to use the names of the people listed next to or near your guy in the search. Sometimes if one finds those people you also find the person you are looking for. If you look at the list on the next page to your guy you will see the names Ole Gundersen and Peder Olsen. I have found those two arriving in New York.

Ole Gundersen
in the New York, Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957
Name: Ole Gundersen
Arrival date: 14 May 1875
Birth Date: abt 1854
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/ Nationality: Norwegian
Place of Origin: Norway
Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Moville, Ireland
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Ethiopia

However as best as I can determine Christopher Mikkelsen is not on this ship either.

The closest on this ship is this name.

Name: Keisttffer Steffenson
Arrival date: 14 May 1875
Birth Date: abt 1852
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Ethnicity/ Nationality: Norwegian
Place of Origin: Norway
Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland and Moville, Ireland
Destination: United States of America
Port of Arrival: New York, New York
Ship Name: Ethiopia

Probably not close enough.

I have tried searching all the ships entering both Quebec
And New York in May 1875 but found nothing either. I really can’t
find much on him till the 1910 census shows him in
Minnesota listing date of immigration as 1875. He was
my Grandmother’s half brother, maybe he never left
In April 1875, I’ll try to find more on him

1905 Mn census says he was in U.S. for 32 years. 1910 Fed. Census says 1875 date of immigration. But this is the right person, I have seen his wife as Kari in some cases. He is buried in Pelican Rapids 10 Jan 1927 Christ. H. Mikkelson.
Some confusion as to when he immigrated, I will probably have to accept him leaving Norway Apr. 23, 1875 arrival date unknown. I thank everyone for their
help I have located all family members that I know left Norway.

Christ Michalson (31) is in Pelican already by 1880.

I fully believe he was in Pelican Rapids then, in 1875
he was headed to La Crosse Wi where his brother
Ole lived, they didn’t stayed there long went to Pelican
Rapids Mn. I was trying to find his arrival port.
