Þorbjörg was the daughter of Sveinn Sveinsson and Guðrún Símonardóttir in the Akra settlement in N. Dakota. Þorbjörg and Jóhann’s paths crossed in the Lakes settlement (Vatnabyggð), where Símon, Þorbjörg’s brother, lived in the years 1907-1924. Jóhann grew up in the home of his parents, Sveinn Kristjánsson and Veronika Þorkelsdóttir, in the Lakes settlement (Vatnabyggð) in Saskatchewan. Jóhann took land in there in 1905, but agriculture did not suit him, so he sold the land and started in construction. He later settled in Dafoe in the Lakes settlement and ran a grocery store.
