So far, the record shows a marriage for Iver Teigen to Kari in the US, 1870.
We also have two census records showing that he immigrated in 1876, which should mean that he married in Norway.
Do we have documentation for either alternative? Or are there multiple Iver Teigens around - if so, how do we disambigute them?
I'm going "ancestry tree diving" so take whatever emerges with the proper grains of salt. And it will be straight c&p

Yes, when I go back to Ancestry, which hates the iPad. I found the Minnesota State Census for 1885 which lists the children in original handwriting. Steve Frank referred to it (copying across his comment of a few days ago):
Erica Isabel Howton, (c) Martin Severin Eriksen,
Unfortunately I think you have the wrong Iver Teigen. The one in Pope Co., MN is not the same as the one in North Dakota. The parents you added are those of Iver 1841-1921 who lived in Pope, MN. Both were married to a Kari which is probably the confusion. Chrissy Teigen is descended from Iver Teigen 1844-1933 who lived in Lac qui Parle, Minnesota and then moved to Pierce, North Dakota around 1900.
I found a tree that has an Iver Johansson Teigen/Snerleeie b. 1844 d. 1933 as son of Johan Knudsen Teigen, Ane/Anne Olsdatter Rottemseie. I tried to confirm it but the Norweigan patronymics made me dizzy.

Marriage Iver J. Teigen and Kari Olsen 17 Nov 1870 Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota with a link to the original document: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/QJGY-YP1T
Bjørn - This is the "other" Iver / Kari, terribly confusing because the dates are very similar also.
They are here, we can call them the "Pope county Teigens"
I just uploaded the 1885 Minnesota state census for "our" Teigens. It has the 3 oldest children born in Norway.
So this confirms the other census reports saying they married in 1870 (had to have been Norway) & emigrated 1876

So your wedding record will be in - Vagga?
There are two discussions about the same problem, please try to stick to one of them, here is the other one: http://www.geni.com/discussions/138024
