Pétur Guðlaugsson was born in N. Þingeyjarsýsla in 1854. He died in Gimli on March 10, 1920.
Spouse: Sigurbjörg Bjarnadóttir b. Skagafjarðarsýsla on June 15, 1860, d. Gimli on March 4, 1930.
Children: 1. Lovísa b. December 25, 1883 in Winnipeg, d. June 30, 1953. Information is needed on other children.
Pétur came west to Canada in 1876 from Krossdal in N. Þingeyjarsýsla. Sigurbjörg came west the same year with her parents, Bjarni Bjarnason and Guðbjörg Sveinsdóttir. It is unclear when Pétur’s and Sigurbjörg’s paths crossed, probably in Winnipeg because Lovísa was born there. Later they settled in Gimli and lived there ever after.
