My Great Grandfather, born, Ernest (Arni) Sigvaldason in Iceland. Father of Maria Sigvaldson Einarson, mother of Pauline Einarson Christopherson, who was my mother. Owned 320 acres of farmland in Limestone, MN in the late 1890s to 1930. A City Clerk in Limestone, Minnesota, who retired to Lake Benton (see the farm here) . More to come. Have tracked down census, deeds, obituaries, Bios in the local history book, father and gradfathers names along with entire immediate family. |

| My Great Grandmother on Mom's side. Gudrun Sigvaldson, Arni's wife (Photo - Right side). She was a kind hearted, tough gal. Will post her obituary which is quite extensive and mentions her ancestors. I suspect they knew the stock they came from, never letting it go to their heads. | |
