Ósk Ingibjörg was the daughter of Klemens G Jónasson and Ósk Ingibjörg Jónsdóttir and came west with them in 1886. Kristján came west to Winnipeg in 1897 with his mother Sigurbjörg Helgadóttir. His half-brother, the poet Páll S Pálsson, came west to accompany the musician Jónas Pálsson in 1900. Páll immediately took Jónas’s middle name because it was clear to everyone that the name Skarphéðinn would not go well with English speakers. Kristján followed Páll’s advice. He lived with his mother in Winnipeg until 1908, then moved to Selkirk where he lived forever. He worked in iron smelting, his last years at Selkirk Rolling Mills.
