Martinus Kristoffersen

[gj10647]

I am looking for the birth/baptism records for Martinus Kristoffersen born 1839/40, looking for the name of his parents. Said to have emigrated to USA in 1868. Went by the name of Martin C. Hjermstad in US. According to the obits in US he was born in Stange on November 10, 1840 the son of Christian Christopherson...In the 1865 census in Norway he is Martinus Kristoffersen working on the Hjermstad nordre farm.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
