Hi. I haven´t much of information regarding Margret Stefansdottir, but a little bit. Margret´s mother (born 1844 died 1933 in Blaine Washington) married in America in 1884 Sigurdur Jonsson from Ytri-Löngumyri Blöndudalur Hunavatnssysla but they had no children together. He was born in 1849 and died in Blaine 1922.
Siblings of Margret who became adult were following:
Maria Halldora Stefansdottir b. 1871, d.1895 moved to Canada in 1876 with her fosterparents, married to Hannes Asmundsson from Reykjavik. They lived in Winnipeg. No children.
Jon Stefansson b. 1873, He moved to America in 1888 and became gardener in Blaine Wash. His wife was Jorunn Asmundsdottir from Minniborg Grimsnes in Arnessysla.
Kristin Stefania Stefansdottir b. 1874, d.1906 first wife of Jon Jonsson farmer at Gilhagi in New Iceland (Interlake Region?) in Manitoba.
Margret had one halfsister (same father) who went to America. Her name was Gudridur Stefansdottir b.1865 and she went to Canada in 1887 from As Fellnahreppur Mulasysla with destination to Winnipeg. So far I have no further information about her.
This info was found in "Skagfirskar aeviskrar 1850-1890", vol 3, page 224-225 and in Vesturfaraskra (A Record of Emigrants from Iceland to America 1870-1914)
I hope this can help you in starting your searching.
Anna Kristjansdottir
