Iceland Compiled Genealogies

Extracted Records
FamilySearch has organized volunteers to extract genealogical data from parish registers and compiled genealogies. These records can be searched at FamilySearch Genealogies: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/genealogies/submission/8/MMD6-Y12 Iceland. Historical Family Trees].

Special Genealogical Collections (Ættatølurbækur)
These records give linkage and genealogical information. These include collections compiled by Jon Espolin, Steingrimur Jonsson, Olafur Snoksdalin, and Einar Jonsson; as well as pedigrees and genealogies of Skagafjarðar County. The materials held by the FamilySearchLibrary cover the time period from 874 to the 1930s.

They generally contain the names of persons, their dates and places of birth and death, parentage, names of spouse and children, residence, occupations; general biographical information; pedigrees listing several generations of ancestry with dates of birth, marriage, and death. The National Archives in Reykjavik holds a considerable number of these records.
