Would anyone have the name of a ship of the Thingvalla Line that left Christiana (Oslo) approximately 09 March 1888 bound for America? Also, any information on the passenger list for that ship? Thank you.

There was no Thingvalla Line departure on March 9th 1888. We have the S/S Thingvalla departing from Christiania on Feb. 17th, arriving at New York on March 3rd, then the S/S Geiser departing from Christiania on March 27th, arriving at New York on April 12th. The passenger lists are archived by NARA, see the article about "Hunting Passenger Lists", US arrivals:
