Guðmundur came to the West in 1910 and first lived in Winnipeg before moving to Vancouver, British Columbia. He was a builder there. Svanfríður’s brother, Soffanías Þorkelsson, came to Winnipeg in 1898 and no doubt played a part in Svanfríður’s emigration west in 1907, as she also went to Winnipeg.
