He states in his biography Úr Víðidal til Vesturheims about the children of Guðbjartur and Guðrún p. 132: “In Iceland, Guðbjartur and Guðrún last lived in Akranes. From there, at the turn of the century, they moved west across the ocean with a one-year-old boy named Níels, who later became a well-known lawyer in North Dakota and a judge in that state’s Supreme Court. Two of their sons became highly regarded physicians, but the second eldest son died of the Spanish flu in 1918. They still had one more son, who became a lawyer in Lakota, N.D. Lilja was the only daughter and she was also educated, although the materials were limited. After graduating from high school, she attended a teacher training college in Minot and graduated from there.”
