Sigmundur and Soffía emigrated west to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1876 and settled in New Iceland. Sigmundur homesteaded in the Víðirnes Settlement and named it Hjarðarhagi because his family was from Hjarðarhagi in Jökuldal. His mother, the widow Guðlaug Sigmundsdóttir, travelled with them along with Sigmundur’s siblings and other relatives.
