The Dala family - the Guðnýjar family. Edited by Sigríður Lárusdóttir, who also wrote the foreword.
In the preface, Sigríður tells how she came to be interested in publishing this book. Sigríður says; In December 1976, an advertisement sounded on the National Radio that a Siglfirðingabók had been published, which included a biography of Þorland the Rich of Dalbær and his descendants in the fourth generation. I belong to the fourth generation and went and bought the book. But I was disappointed. It did not include all of my grandmother Guðný's children and grandchildren and said many things incorrectly about them. Then my grandparents were said to be the parents of a child from another couple. The worst thing was that my sister was said to be dead, but she had lived four years after the book was published. I wanted to correct these errors and contacted relatives, went to the National Archives and looked for sources. But the corrections were never published and will not be further explained here.
And later Sigríður says; Many good things have happened because of the errors in the Siglfjörður 1976 book. We have held three family reunions and are planning to hold a fourth this summer.
