Helgi was the son of Jón Guðnason, who took the name Stevens in the west, and Jóhanna Stefanía Hansdóttir, pioneer settlers in New Iceland. Jón was a ship captain on the lake for many years, so it is no wonder that Helgi also became a captain. He and Guðrún lived the longest in Gimli but also in Selkirk.
