Ólöf came west to Ontario, Canada with her fiancé, Pétur Jónsson from Hól in Skagafjarðarsýsla. Accompanying them were Pétur’s father, Jón Rögnvaldsson, and Jón’s brother. Ólafur’s daughter María was also with them. They moved to Markland, Nova Scotia and stayed there until 1880. Ólöf moved west to N. Dakota at about the same time as Pétur, but whether they ended their engagement/cohabitation in Markland or in Mountain, N.D. is unclear but probably in Markland because Sigurður Einarsson was born in 1881. Information is missing about Sigurður’s father. Ólöf later lived in Eyford near Mountain.
