2. Baldur Peterson
3. Eric Gudnason (son of Dori and Kristine)
4. Benny Gudnason (I think Benny is #4) (sons of John & Betty)
5. Donald Gudnason (sons of John & Betty)
6. Carol Gudnason (daughter of Dori and Kristine)
7. ??
8. ?? 7 & 8 possibly belong to #24 - he looks familiar but I just can't place him.

18. Gudrun Isfeld (she came to the Christopherson farm (formerly Hernit's, and then taken over by Joe, Siggi and Pete) as a housekeeper in 1940, and soon moved beyond that to become a beloved family member)

24. ??
25. Borga Isfeld (mother of Gudrun)
26. Indlaug Helgason (wife of Ingi)
27. I think this would be Siggi Johnson (neighbour)
28. Joe Christopherson (second son of Hernit and second wife Bjorg)
29. Chris Helgason (married to Veiga Christopherson, Erla's father)
30. Emily Christopherson (wife of Herbert; and my mother)

Special thanks to my northern cousins, Dorothy and Erla, for identifying these family members.
Miriam, Carol, Lilja and the others have all helped me a great deal to put more than a name to my relatives.
