A long term goal is to develop this site into an electronic knowledge base for the benefit of Icelanders and people of Icelandic heritage world wide as well as persons wishing to learn more about Iceland and Icelandic Culture, History, Genealogy, etc.
A part of the Icelandic Culture is of course the cultural mark left by the Icelandic settlers in North America and their descendants.
A mark of that kind is the beautiful painting above by Arni Sigurðsson (1884-1970), depicting Icelandic settlers at the shore of Lake Winnipeg.

GenealogyThe main purpose of this site is to help people of Icelandic origin to search for their roots in Iceland, their ancestors and living relatives. Therefore my aim is to build up databases with names of Icelandic settlers in North America as well as their descendants. Please help by providing me with all available genealogical information you have of your Icelandic heritage. Doing that you might find unknown relatives in North America and you do help your Icelandic relatives to get in touch!
