Vigdís,
I know it is some time since you posted your inquiry on Baldvin Helgason and Fred has given you quite a bit of info. Are you still interested in finding out more on some of these people?
As I have easy access to the death records for BC, I can look up the death certificates for Ásgeir Vídalín and his wife Hallfríður (Gísladóttir) and for Frederica Sophia Baldwin (who is likely his sister Friðrika or possibly a daughter named after her). Hallfríður died first when the family was in Campbell River then the family must have moved to Vancouver as that is where both Ásgeir Vídalín died and Frederica Sophia as well. So far they are the only family members I have found listed in the archives as having died in BC. The death certificates though will often lead to someone else, hopefully a son or daughter that can be traced.
Let me know if you want topursue this. By the way, Baldvin died Feb, 24 1905 in Warrenton Oregon according to the Ó.S. Thorgeirsson Almanak.
