Christian Jorgensen is shown in 1880 census at Centerville, Snohomish
county Washington
Enumeration District 5 page 10 B

Christian age 33, married, Lutheran Minister, born in Norway to
Norwegian parents
Christine age 22, married, keeping house, born in NOrway to Norwegian
parents
Johan born in February of 1880, born in Washington to Norwegian parents

Perhaps the ELCA Lutheran Archives for Washington
http://www.elca.org/os/archives/regsyn.html
might have information regarding the churches he worked at. I do not see
him when looking at the 1900 census. I also checked for Peter, he had
moved from Wang township and I do not see him in the census index from
Genealogy.com. Perhaps if you know more about where these men lived we
can try again.

Good Luck
Anna
