Dear Arlan , is this what you ar looking for?
Children of Jon Jonsson, (d1866) Lundarbrekku and Kristbjorg Kristjansdottir,(d 09.02.1860) from Illugastodum.
1. Kristin b. 1842.( She married at the same time that her father got married to his second wife Jorunn Jonsd)
Kristin married Marteinn Halldorsson,Thorgrimssonar a Bjarnastodum in Bardardal. Kristin and Marteinn lived
at Fornastadi ( where Jorunn lived before) When Kristin's father Jon died , they moved at Lundarbrekka.
The oldes child of Kristin and Marteinn was Kristbjorg b 30.03. 1863.(at Fornastadir) she married Sigurdur
Jonsson and they lived in Yztafelli and were my great grandmother and great grandfather.
2. Kristjan b 1845. He lived longest at Alftagerdi in Myvatnssveit. Among his sons were Adalsteinn og Pall,

6. Benjamin b. 1858. ( 1/2 pg. writen about him in the book about S.J.Yztafelli)
Benjamin married Thuridur Jonsd. her mother was Fridrika Helgadottir, Asmundssonar.and Thuridur father was
Jon skaldi Hinriksson. ( Fridrika was a sister to Thuridar Helgadottir mother of S.J.Yztafelli so I guess I am
related to Benjamin and Thuridur)
Benjamin and Thuridur moved to Canada in 1890 and he died in 1892.
7. Thorsteinn and Kristbjorg children of Jon and Jorunn moved to Vesturheims and also children of Jorunn from
