Hallbjörg Halldórsdóttir was born in 1859 in Borgarfjarðarsýsla. She died on March 9, 1939 in the Lundar Settlement.
Spouse: Jón Einarsson b. August 2, 1860 in Borgarfjarðarsýsla, d. in Winnipeg on October 17, 1947.
Children: 1. Halldóra Ingibjörg b. in New Jersey on November 27, 1893.
Jón and Hallbjörg sailed west to the United States in 1887 and Jón got a job in Seyreville, New Jersey. From there they moved to Manitoba in 1897; the reason may have been Halldóra’s illness which could not stand the moisture on the east coast. The dry air in Manitoba was good for her. Jón took land in the Lundar Settlement and lived there until 1939, then moved to Winnipeg.
