Sooner or later we all want to know our roots. We want to know about our ancestors, not only their name but also their lifestyle and story as complete as possible. If your ancestors originated in Iceland and you want to find out who they were, I might be able to help you. I have access to a comprehensive database of census records and emigration records as well as all types of family records throughout Iceland. So there is a pretty good chance that I - as I said - might be able to help. And for the time being, this is not a charged service, it is - OK, we can call it assistance. What is vital for a good result is that you give to me as much information about your family as possible. Specifically, it is important to have names, and since we are dealing with Icelanders, not only the surname, but also what is most vital, the first name. (See Icelandic names.) Further, approximate relevant dates such as births and deaths are of great help. Remember, tracing your roots today is for your descendants to enjoy!
