----------------------------Original message---------------------------- My "special" patron, Mr. Tim Parrott, also found information similar to what Jim Coombs submitted, but there's some more I might add. Tim found the information in a book called BIDRAG TIL EN HISTORISK-TOPOGRAFISK BESKRIVELSE AF ISLAND by Peter Erasmus Kristian Kalund, published in Copenhagen in 1877 (yes, it's in Danish). Both places are in Iceland. "Videyar Klaustri" = VIDEYJAR KLAUSTR, i.e., the cloister of Videy (the d is crossed like a t), which is Anglicized as "Vidhey." Torvald Gissursson bought the island of Vidhey (located at 64 10 N / 21 52 W) in 1226 and erected an Augustinian cloister "in the island's larger, southeastern part...on a little hill just north of the church." "Beitisto" or "Beitistdum" probably refers to the farm of Beitistadir (Anglicized as Beitistadhir), located at 64 24 N / 21 52 W. I hope this helps!
