I am looking for information on the family of my great grandmother Jörundína Herdis Laxdal. She married my great grandfather George Edward McCotter in 1913 when she was 17 years old.
My father and his siblings all grew up in Bowsman and lived very close to Jörundína & George as well aas her siblings Jóhann (uncle Joe) Kristján Laxdal, Jona Soffia (auntie Fia) Laxdal, and Ólafur (uncle Oli) Laxdal but little is known about her brother Björn (Barney) Laxdal born in 1892 or sister Ingibjörg Thermia (Emma) Laxdal born in 1890.
The following is the information that I have but more on the Laxdal family, particularly their ancestry and what ever happened to Jörundína's two siblings that were left behind in Iceland, is greatly appreciated.
