I am looking for a marriagerecord in Menominee, probably in Stephenson.
I find on Family Search a listingdate for their marriage, 22 Aug 1898. No place given.
And a birthrecord: Christian Nilsen Quande, b. 17 JAN 1901 in Stephenson.

Nils Quande was born in Norway abt 1862-1864, was a farmer in Stephenson,1900-1910, and died before the census 1920, when Christina lives there alone with their son Christian Nelson Quande. Nils is probably buried locally.
She was Christine Brynildsen Bergsland, b. 3 AUG 1859 in Bamble, Telemark, Norway, the daughter of Brynild Andersen Bergsland and Anne Margrethe Brynildsen.

Christina is found in the census 1930 in Holland, Ottawa, Michigan, living with her niece, her sister Hanna Henriette (Brynildsen)Knutsons daughter Gurena M Anderson.
I have not found her in Pilgrim Home Cemetery,Holland, where many of her natives and family are buried.
They only had one child:
Christian Nilsen Quande, b. 17 JAN 1901 in Stephenson, Menominee, Michigan, resided 1910 - 1920 in Stephenson, census 1930,Milwaukee, occupation typograph. - 1942 military, single in Milwaukee
He died 18. SEP 1966 in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Thank you in advance
Stine

have you checked Wisconsin for marriage records???

Hello.
Thank you for replying.
I have no record for this couple ever having lived in Wisconsin. Christinas siblings lived in Holland, MI.
I have not been able to find her emigration of abt 1897, which may note her destination in the US. I have no other data on Nils, than the census of 1900 and 1910.
Their son Christian, moved to Milwaukee as an adult, while his mother lived with relatives in Holland.
I have posted a query on him on the Milwaukee board.

Hello Stine,
Please check this URL:
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#...

Here you can find the original Birth record for the child you looking for. If you view the image please check also the next image (Number 1373). There you can find the parents and the profession of the father.

In this database you can also look for Marriage records.
I have your ancestors not found, but sometimes it is difficult somebody to find because of the different manners of writing of the names.

Yours sincerly
Silke
