THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN - VORHEFTIÐ KOMIÐ 0T
Vorhefti ársfjórðungsritsins
The Icelandic Canadian er

Correct-ion
A recent issue of Logberg-
Heimskringla carried a brief
article explaining the
identity of the people in one
of the old photos which have
appeared. The picture was
of Brynjolfur Gunnlaugsson
and his four sons, formerly
of Baldur, Man.
Some corrections to the
article have been received
from Anna Frisk, one of
those who recognized the
picture. Mrs. Frisk is herself
not related to Brynjolfur as
was stated in the article.
Her foster mother was a
close relative. The article
also mentions that a sister of
Brynjolfur’s, Kristin, was
married to Guomundur
Marteinsson of Riverton.
These people lived at
Garour (a Garoi), a farm
south of Riverton. Brynjolfur
lived on a farm near Baldur,
not in Glenboro. The
correction also states that
Brynjolfur was born at
“Flugu” in Iceland, not
Flaga. Flaga is the correct
nominative form of the farm
name. The dative form of
this name is FlOgu.
The writer also
discovered an error shortly
after submitting the in-
formation. Brynjolfur’s
sister Vilborg was married
to Halldor Einarsson, not
Einar Einarsson as stated.
This couple lived in the
Shoal Lake Lundar set-
tlements.
