Nancy--
I do quite a bit of Norwegian research and so did some work in the Norwegian Digital Archives.
First of all, I found Hans in 1920 Flathead census Enumeration District 42 Sheet 9A with his wife Margaret age 27 and son Arnold age 2. Margaret was born in Norway, Arnold born in Montana. Hans immigrated in 1904 and was naturalized in 1913.
Hans immigrated Oslo to Montana on the liner Angela with his uncle Martin Prestbyn on 22 Jul 1904. It lists Hans as Hans Antonsen Prestbyn and his residence at the time was Andebu. His destination was Montana, age 17, unmarried, and a laborer.
Martin was 44, residing in America, unmarried, and a farmer. His destination was Montana.

Most Norwegians used the patronymic naming system. So, Hans' father was Anton. Anton was Christ Prestbye's brother. Therefore, the link you are looking for is that Hans is the nephew of Christ.
I found Hans in the 1900 Norwegian census:

Andebu Kommune (kommune = community) is found in Vestfold fylke (fylke = county). For more assistance regarding your Norwegian heritage, be certain to check out Norway Genweb at

I can tell you that upon immigration, the Prestbyes took their new surname from their home farm Prestbyen. Many Norwegians did this.
Hope this information is helpful for you.
