• 5 Dec 1771 Magdalena was the godmother of her grandson Eyjólfur Pálsson during his baptism on Kjalarnes, Kjósarsýsla, Iceland.^[4]

Research Note

• Magdalena was the godmother of her grandson Eyjólfur when he was baptised on 5 Dec 1771 but is not the godmother in the baptism of her grandson Jörgen Pálsson in April 1776, so it is likely that she passed away some time between Dec 1771 and Apr 1776.

  • Death record located in the Kjalarnesþing - Prestþjónustubók 1752-1816 church record. Page badly damaged and hard to read but it seems to say: ... Juni að Saurbæ jörðuð ...ena Jensdóttir frá ...ine 71 ára. (Eysteinsson-236 20:38, 12 September 2021 (UTC))
