Jóna Guðrún was the daughter of Guðmundur Guðmundsson and Mekkín Jónsdóttir early settlers in the Swan Lake settlement (Álftavatnsbyggð) in 1894. Guðni was the son of Jón Jónsson Mýrdal and Ingveldur Guðnadóttir, who came west in 1893 and took land in the Shoal Lake settlement (Grunnavatnsbyggð) in Manitoba in 1903. Guðni was interested in all kinds of machines from an early age and he got a job at a young age at Helgi Sveinsson’s car workshop in Lundar. Guðni got married in 1922, and two years later, the couple moved to Chicago with their one-year-old son. There he got a job at Thordarson Electric, where he worked until 1929. That year, it was predicted that there would be a global crisis ahead, so Guðni moved back to Manitoba and bought land in his hometown. He farmed there.
