Genealogy - Searching your roots
  If this website has gotten you interested in finding out more about your ancestral family, be sure to check out Ron Freeman's Genealogy site. Ron has a lot of family members in the database and a lot of rare photos also.

And if you would like to probe far into the past for your Icelandic ancestry, I suggest exploring Halfdan Helgason's on-line database of over a half-million individuals.

You will need to e-mail Halfdan for a "user name" and a password. But once you've gained these two items you can explore to your heart's content.

I'm including a list of names that you can copy and paste into the Halfdan Helgason's site's "search box" to get you started:


Finnur Finnsson (Pjetur, Steinunn and Kristin's father)

Sigurbjörg Kristjánsdóttir -The mother of Marja, Pjetur Finnsson's wife.

There is more than one entry. Chose this one: Sigurbjörg Kristjánsdóttir 1843, & Jóhannes Jóhannesson, Árni Helgason
