Stories for all Time

Beautiful! Just having consistent names for the things would simplify our world a lot..... this sounds like a wonderful thing to have happen.

Wonderful. I've been to Orkney to see the Orkneyjarl sites, maybe it's time I went to Iceland?

Sharon, we should plan a trip to Iceland at the same time. It's number one on my list of places I've never been.

I'm in :-)

You guy's let me know when you arrive so I can meet up with you if I am at home :)

Anna, we were hoping to stay with you! ;)

Have you seen this article?

@Justin Swanström - That could get interesting .. gathering us genealogy nerds from several parts of the World together in one place :)

Anna, that article looks very interesting. I love that stuff. I was studying the sagas for my master's degree. I wished I had finished. I would love to see Iceland. It would certainly be interesting, even better with a group of genealogy nerds.

@Justin Swanström - We are rather impressed over here after reading this article. My professors in Folklore and Medieval Studies at the Uni in Iceland are also impressed over this article. Specially because it's done by foreign scholars that have little connection to Iceland and are outside the Icelandic academic community.

We are always trying to find something that can prove or disprove the credibility of The Sagas. The research described in this article focuses on is a welcome addition to the debate on these issues.

Genealogy nerds with interests in The Sagas should visit Reykholt where my ancestor Snorri Sturluson lived ... and died :)

I wish I could read it too - it looks great - but it won't let me view it without buying it. .
