One family.
Six generations.
The sea between.

Omar spent 7 years fishing on Bergey VE — working alongside the man who swam away from death on Hellisey as a mate. The same Hellisey that killed his father's friend. The same ocean that took his grandfather. He didn't know any of this at the time.

Amma Anna ALWAYS lived at Álftamýri — she never moved. Directly across a wide intersection, in Stigahlíð, lived Amma Dídi and Afi Jón. Omar's sister Anna bridged their worlds, taking both grandmothers to the theatre and other events together.

Rebekka Ros (Pabbi's sister) married Kristjan Walsh (Mamma's half-brother). Two family trees became one. Their children are related to Omar on both sides.

Amma Anna's second husband was Gunnar Yngvi Tomasson. His brother Jon ran the farm at Fljotsholar — where Omar was sent to work as a boy. He lived with his grandmother's brother-in-law without knowing the link.

Afi Jon — Omar's grandfather — ran the recreation department at the US military base at Keflavik. Theatres, libraries, entertainment. He was once on a military flight to the US alongside Frank Sinatra.

Toggi — Mamma's half-brother — was a master chef. He cooked at Hressingarskalinn in Reykjavik. He also cooked for President Nixon and the President of France. He struggled with alcoholism and died at 60.

Asgrimur Olafsson — born 1974, lives in Gothenburg, Sweden. Son of Kiddi Walsh and Amma Didi. Raised by a stepfather named Olafur. Child support paid by a Finnish man. He chose the name Olafsson himself. Recently reconnected with the family.
