The girls in the pictures are definitely not 55 years old. They are
more like 20, so that could not be her.

Also, Helgadottir is a strange and unusual name for Iceland. It
indicates that she does not know who her father was, so she was named
after her mother.

Sam,
I think those are her children or grand children. It is not likely
that someone with her name would also have a friend with the exact
name you provided though. Best of luck connecting.

No Sam. It means that her fatherīs name is Helgi.
It would have been Helgudóttir if she was named after her mother (if
her name was Helga)
Helgi is one of the more common names in Iceland

There are 535 women with Laufey as her first name and 155 who use it
as a second name.
Common but not that common.

Íslendingabók has one Laufey Guðmundsdóttir born in august 1953 (the
next one before is born in 1940 and the next after in 1964 so this
must be the correct one.

Thank you so very much for correcting me.

Now that we have you online, do you happen to know any of the people I
have mentioned in this article, not counting those who are famous of
course?

I have so far mentioned the names of six Icelandic girls, at least
they were girls back then 36 years ago when I knew them. One of the
six I am still in contact with to this day. I exchange IMs and emails
with her and her children all the time.

Do you know the other five?

No, I do not.
It is one of the more persistent myths about Iceland that everybody
knows everyone else.
It is sadly just a myth.

No, but having their names and approximate ages might enable me to
find the others (as I found Laufey in my previous post)

Four of them worked for me in 1972.

They were Hafdis Einarsdotter. She had just turned 21 in 1972

Johanna Baldursdottir. She was about 24 and had already been married
and divorced. She was from the small town of Thorlakshofn on the south
coast of Iceland.

Inga Brandsdottir, she was 18 or 19 in 1972

Helga Thorvardarsdottir I think she was about 23 or 24 in 1973.

Another girl I got involved with 1975 Palina Kristjansdottir . She was
from Akranes. I think she was about 19 or 20 in 1974.

Finally, there was a girl but I forget her name. She applied for a job
with me and I agreed to hire her but I had to close my office just
before she started work. She had been the Icelandic representative in
the Miss World Beauty Contest, so she was called Miss Iceland World. I
think she was 18 in 1973. If I heard her name I would remember it, I
think.

Somehow I forgot to mention my only actual Icelandic girlfriend.

Her name was Hilgegunner Adolfsdottir.

I have lost track of her. I cannot find her in the Icelandic telephone
book and I am told that she lives in America now.

Of course, this all started with Laufey Guðmundsdóttir
