Am I reading this correctly?I can't believe my eyes! Today is my first look at this forum and it appears as if this may be a relative. Please advise.
My grandfather was Jon Gislason. His father was Gisli Jonsson. Gisli's parents were Kristin Þorleifsdottir, born about 1781 at Ytri-Holl, Sigluvik Parish, and Jon Halfdanarson, born about 1771.Kristin was the daughter of Þorleifur Sigurðsson,who was the son of the county prefect Sigurður Stefansson,born about 1698. Sigurður Stefansson lived at the farm Smyrlabjörg in the district Suðursveit in the county Austur Skaftafellssysla.
I have no other information going further back in time.
Jon Halfdanarson died in 1815 and Kristin married Jon Simonarson.According to the 1816 census Jon Simonarson and Kristin Þorleifsdottir lived at Eystri-Klasbarði 2 with her 4 children, Gisli Jonsson, my great grandfather, Helgi Jonsson, Kristin Jonsdottir and Helga Jonsdottir.
Kristin and Jon moved to Vestri-Fiflholt in 1829.
I also know nothing about this family except for the descendants of Gisli.
I am hoping very much to hear from you.
