Net Family History 010 01 0 101 01010100 GenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~islwgw/ This is a very basic page with some links. I can honestly say that Iceland is not a country that often comes to my mind. Working on this article did prove to me that the human brain does store a wide assortment of anything away that you would never think you would need or use again. As the patronymics chart at the beginning showed, the practice is still in use in Iceland. Once at a holiday party, I was talking to someone who had been visiting Iceland frequently for business. He told how his contact had adopted a boy and gave him the normal patronymic name. Several years later he and his wife were finally able to have their own son and the adopted son’s name was changed so that the biological son could have the correct name. I also recalled seeing something on television a number of years ago about a nationwide genealogical database for Iceland that was being used along with medical research. After a bit of searching I was able to locate a website that gives some information about the projects current status. Here is a portion of it that gives “The Good News”: Share Your Ancestors http://www.grapevine.is/Home/ReadArticle/ Share-Your-Ancestors by Ian Watson “Iceland’s genealogy is nearly done. “Finishing” a whole nation’s genealogy would be unthinkable in North America or Western Europe, where one looks back at previous centuries’ populations as incomprehensible, surging masses of migrating humanity. But, as so often, Iceland is a little different from some other parts of the world. You may have heard that Iceland has unusually good genealogical records dating all the way back to the saga age, and that Icelanders can trace their ancestry to the Vikings. The truth is a bit less romantic. The earliest detailed record of every single Icelander is the 1703 census. Most Icelandic church records date only from 1785. The majority of lines fade into the darkness of time as one tries to trace back through the 1600s. Most Icelanders who lived in the year 1600 did not leave a record of even their names for posterity. The only memories that survive are of the wealthy, learned, or notorious. “ He then goes on to give “The Bad News”: Íslendingabók is connected to the net (www. islendingabok.is), and any Icelander can sign up for a free username and password. Many have, and find Íslendingabók fun to use, despite the fact that they are not allowed to see everything in it. If you have a password, you are allowed to see a list of all other Icelanders’ names and birthdates. You can view full information on everyone who shares a great-grandparent with you. You can also ask the computer to find out whether you have a common ancestor with any given Icelander—if you do, the computer will show you the lines of descent to both people. And you can see all information on individuals born before 1700, including their full ancestral charts. One way Icelanders commonly use Íslendingabók is to see how closely prospective boyfriends or girlfriends are related to them or if they are related to notable Icelandic persons, such as Björk or the Prime Minister. Another is simply to find out about people’s families and to answer the Icelandic question of “hverra manna ert þú”—“who are your people” Between the online Icelandic telephone book, the National Registry (open to anyone with an Icelandic bank account), the online index of Icelandic newspaper obituaries, and Íslendingabók, it is possible to find out a lot about peoples’ families in Iceland.” Unfortunately Icelandic censuses, church records, and the like are not publicly available either. National Archives of Iceland www.archives.is http://www.archives.is/index.phpnode=english Censuses were taken in 1703, 1762, 1801, 1816, 1845 (the first to include birthplace), and 1885.
