western prov-
inces and from
the states of Ala-
bama, Califor-
nia, Iowa, Min-
nesota, New
Mexico and
North Dakota,
gathered in
Wynyardon July
20 and21, 1991,
hosted by Irene
(Thorlacius)
Dalman and
Lillian Thorlacius and their families.
Icelandic immigrants, Hallgrímur
and María Thorlacius of Mountain,
North Dakota, had 9 children. The
four oldest immigrated to Canada:
Peter, Sigfus, Christine and Gudrun;
settling in the Wynyard area in the
early 1900’s.
Reunion ac-
tivities included
a supper, pro-
gram and dance
at the Civic
Centre on Sat-
urday, and a
dinner and
wiener roast at
the Thorlacius
farm on Sun-
day, with many
opportunities to
visit and get ac-
quainted.
In honour of
their Icelandic
heritage, the
Icelandic flag
was flown at the Thorlacius farm.
“Remembering our ancestors and
our shared history warmed the heart
and soul. Family reunions are indeed
special!”

Funny Errors
Here’s another one for your
“Funny Errors" column — and by
the way — Connie Geller doesn’t
have to feel bad about her “Súkkla” —
that’s exactly what we called it in
our family as well, and it sure tasted
good after a cold night on the toboggan
slide.
My mother sat at my bedside every
night as I said my prayers as she
had taught them to me in Icelandic.
What I said and what I understood
were two different things!
I think I got through “Ó Jesú,
bróðir bezti” with no problem, but
when it came to “Faðir vor . . .”, it
was a different story.
Faðir vor,
þú sem ert á himnum.
Helgist þitt nafn
I never questioned it, but for years
I quietly wondered how my sister
Helga managed to get herself involved
in the Lord’s Prayer.
The third line came out as “Helga
sittin’ up”.

Editor’s note:
Children in Iceland have also mis-
understood the Lord’s Prayer. When
my mother was little she had difficul-
ties with this line:
"Svosem vérog fyrirgefum vorum
skuldunautum."
She couldn’t understand what we
should forgive bulls (naut) for.
