My name is Gísli Ingólfsson, often called „Johnsson.“ As a child, my father would sometimes call me by that name, and only later did I realize he was referring to my great-grandfather, Gísli Jónsson. This connection sparked my interest in getting to know him better. Family stories have always been a big part of my life, and the story of my great-grandfather has always been especially dear to me. This book is a journey where I seek to understand the man behind our name — his hard work, his fight for justice, and his belief in education. Through his story I have come to know myself better.
