My family
My wife's and my ancestors.
My ancestors have been farmers at my farm, Sveinsstadir, more than 400 years. My great great grandfather started farming at Sveinsstadir in 1844 and his son followed in his footsteps. Since then, a son has carried on the tradition of his father.
When I was a young boy I helped my father with the farmwork and I was only 3 years old when I got my first sheep and a bit later I got my first horse.
I married my wife, Bjorg Thorgilsdottir in 1979. That year we bought half of Sveinsstadir from my father and later we bought the other half.

Our daugthers
Our daughter is Elin Osk, born in 1987. She goes to school near our home.
Bjorg had one daughter, Helga, before we married. She lives in Blonduos with her husband and 3 children. They visit us a lot and the kids like to ride in the tractor with Grandpa.
