Dad and mom. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson from Hvoli tells the story.
Eyjólfur Guðmundsson of Hvolur in Mýrdalur was born on August 31, 1870 at Eyjarhólar in the same village.
(Dyrhólahreppi). His father Guðmundur Ólafsson, from the priestly family of Sir Högni at Breiðabólsstaður, was a well-known man in his time as a farmer and seafarer, but at that time this wood was needed along the southern coast of the country. It is believed that Ólafur, Eyjólf's grandfather, was the first to build a farm at Eyjarhólabýl on Pétursey, and many of Eyjólf's memories were tied to that place, as can be seen from various things he has written, although the family did not settle there. — Guðmundur's wife, Eyjólf's mother, was Guðrún Þorsteinsdóttir from Úthlíð in Biskupstungur, and that family was a strong and famous one.
Eyjólfur á Hvoli married Arnþrúður Guðjónsdóttir from Þórustöðir in Eyjaíirður in 1904, a distinguished woman. They had 6 children, and 5 of them survived to adulthood, 3 daughters and 2 sons: Anna (unmarried) at home, Ingveldur married to Daníel Guðbrandsson, a farmer in Kerlingardalur, Steinunn married to Sigurjón Árnasson, a farmer in Pétursey, Guðmundur (unmarried) a farm manager at home, and Sigurður, now also at home, married to Sigurbjörg Guðnadóttir from Háisi in Fnjóskadalur.
