Very interesting site giving impressive information about a very special country!
I was told about the Miljóner games shown in the attic of your museum. Why don't you ask more attention for those games in your site??

Just looking at building techniques.

Hope to visit you in late June 2002 with my 14-year old son, Erik. I have been to Iceland twice and love it.

I would be interested in knowing about icelandic/scandinavian Mitology. Would it be possible for you to provide me of an e-address where I coul get some information on it? Thanks from Spain

Great information! I surfed on in while looking
up info about your country of Iceland :} My
bro and his family are living at Keflavic Air
Station and wanted to know more.

i really needed pictures for my room

We lived in Iceland for quite an EXTENSIVE PERIOD OF TIME. Your site is quite well put together.

very interested in milk processing.

I visited the Stokksey / Eyrarbakki area June, 2001. Grandfather Gudmundar Steindorsson was born in Stokkseyri in 1862.

My grandparents, Böðvar Jónsson and Guðrún Tómásdóttir emmigrated to Canada in 1886.

Böðvar was born in Auðsholti in Ölfusi in Árnessýsla in Iceland, on May 23 1869. His parents were Jón Saemundsson, a farmer in Búrfelli, Grimsnesi, and his mother was Ingibjorg Böðvarsdöttir from Reyðarvatni at Rangávöllum. Böðvar lived with his parents on a prosperous farm in Auðsholti, until his father was lost at sea in 1883, in one of the worst storms of the century. Ingibjorg moved to Canada with her parents and four of her children in 1886.

Guðrún was born in Littlamóti in Flóa in Árnessýsla in Iceland on September 26 1864. Her parents, Tómás Ingimundarson and Guðrún Eyólfsdöttir, lived first at Littlamóti and later moved to Egilsstöðum in Ölfusi in Árnessýsla.

In 1886, Guðrún moved to Canada with her parents and siblings (Jóni, Eyólfi, Bjarni, Guðfinnu, Ragnheiði, Katrinu, and Guðrún, the younger).

Since both of them were born and lived in the county Arnessysla, I thought you might let me know how I might find out more about my roots in Iceland and perhaps locate relatives who still live there.

Your site is the only hit I get when I type "Arnessysla" into the Internet search engines. Also, I haven't yet pinpointed the location of Arnessysla, since the name doesn't appear on maps that I have found on the Internet. I have just started this search, so I expect I'll find something.

Best wishes!

very interesting -i would like to correspond with someone from iceland

your web site is so awsome!I like the view.

I was delighted with the museum, as well as with the surprising Iceland. I visited the museum in 1999.

What a wonderful experience learning about Iceland.I sure would like to know more about this country.

I was interested in your plant in Iceland. My mothers family came from Iceland in the 1880's. I am related to the Thordarsson family. Svein Thordarsson was born in Vestmanaeyjar in 1827.

Your web site is quite fascinating as well as informative. I hope to visit Iceland soon.

Greatings ..

Hans B. Thorgrimsen was my mother's father, who immigrated to the New World at the age of 17 in 1872. We visited Washington Island, Wisconsin last summer and found his name in their records. How far are you from Reykjavik ?? Please advise. Thank You.Sincerely, Tom Will

Flott síða!

Descendants of Loftur, son of Jorunds - famous shark hunter in early 1800s.

I have always wanted to visit Iceland so I am looking through all of the museum and historical websites.

I visited Iceland and your museum in 1998. It was a wonderful trip and I am looking forward to returning.

hey all you stokkseyri citizens!

for 3 weeks 29 other ppl and me lived at the childrens school of stokkseyri, and we also got to see the thuridar cottage. your town is great and so is the ppl! we all had a great summer in stokkseyri!!

greetings

Would like to see this in person someday. In history it says the house arrived as a kit, from where?

I am the daughter of Dorothea Thorgrimsen, great granddaughter of Gudmondur--we have just finished a weekend family gathering enjoying a history lesson on life in Iceland as written by Gudmondur's son Hans--including his memories of youth growing up in the House of Merchants. This web site is wonderful for those of us who live on the other side of the world!

Naesta ár kem ég i heimsókn!!

Great site!! Enjoyed learning more about my ancestory. Thank you!

I visited Iceland last August for the first time, and unfornuately missed your museum. I am especially interested in Iceland because my ancestors on both my Father's side, and my Mother's side came from the Westman island of Heimaey. I loved Iceland, I loved the people, the scenery, the food, and everything. We are coming again next summer, and we look forward to visiting your museum then. Thankyou! Shelley Robinson, great grandaughter of Einer Jonsson, and Erick Hanson, of Westman Islands.

I am interested in Eyrabakka and have been there to visit. My father in law Arni jonsson was born there and his father JON ARNASON rokkasmidur and wife are buried there. Greetings to you, Heida.

Gudmunder Thorgrimsen is my great, great grand father.

I was hoping that perhaps you had information on all of Iceland's History, but this is still a nice site.

Your presentation is wonderful on the internet.

Looking for cultural historical and religous information about Iceland and it people. From it's first discovery to the present.

Jeg ville ønske mig at forstå islandsk, så jeg kan læse bogen om Adam Hoffritz!

i like your information. i have setup a living museum dedication to the preservation to the agricultural voactions.comments or ideas??

H.B. Thorgrimsen was my great grandfather. I know that my uncle, Alf Hulteng has visited this web site. I love this part of the history of my family. I am trying to encourage my uncles to visit the House of Eyrarbakki. Right now we are all working at the translation of H.B.'s autobiography. It really is a wonderful history of his life in that house. I am sure I will visit this often. Thank you. Cathy

This was kind of confusing for myself as a sixth grader to read. It looked interesting but I did not really understand it.

Is Iceland a place for a couple of senior citizens to spend a honeymoon??

I thoroughly this site. Iceland was drawn to my attention by Matt Lauer, who was visiting from the U.S. I would have liked to have been able to see more pictures of the landscape, though, and the actual rooms of "The House," that is now a museum.

This is a really neat site, plus it helped me alot on my report on Iceland for school, it was a great place in Iceland to research! Thanx!

very nice. I like the stuff in it and the history about. I'm doing a report on Iceland I was finding some stuff about it.

know about dairy industry

My daughter will be visiting Iceland this summer through the University she attends here.We are interested in learning about Iceland before she goes.

I am the grandson of the late Thorstein Davidson of Mardarupi. I am looking for information on the family. Thank you for your web-site.

Thank you for the preview... I'm looking forward to visiting in person in May!

Aircraft tires work great on all types of farm equipment. Due to their heavy plies these tires are virtually falt proof, and that will save you money and down time. These tires also have a load carrying capacity that cant be matched by conventional tires. For more info please call 607.280.2853 or email DmcOwen424@aol.com

Gagnleg og fræðandi síða. M.a. fékk ég góðar myndir fyrir söguritgerð mína í ML.

þetta er góð síða.

Bestu kveðjur, Steingrímur

Bestu kveðjur úr Hæstakaupstaðnum á Ísafirði, þar er nú verið að gera upp Faktorshúsið byggt 1788,eftir afnám Einokunarverslunar á Íslandi,af Björgvinjarmönnum frá Noregi.
Stefnt er að því að verkinu ljúki sumarið 2000, á menningarborgaárinu!

Ég hef lengi ætlað mér að skoða "Húsið" en aldrei látið verða af því. Hinsvegar hef ég látið verða af því að skoða annað hús sem hefur verið nefnt "Heiðdalshús" til minningar um afa minn Sigurð Heiðdal sem var fyrsti forstjóri fangahælisins á Litla Hrauni og bjó í þessu húsi, sennilega á árunum 1930 - 1940. Húsið er í sjálfu sér ekkert sérstakt en ég skoðaði það í fylgd með föður mínum sem ólst þar upp sem barn og hann kunni frá mörgu að segja. Þetta var fyrir mig, persónulega, heil upplifun.
Ég kem við í "Húsinu" næst þegar ég verð á ferðinni þarna um.

Dear Lydour Palsson,

A little while ago you were kind enough to inform me that the museum is preparing further work on the history of the house, especially regarding the period when my ancestors were living in it . I wonder how you are getting on and do you know when this material will bwe ready?.. I would be very interested to know if historical source materials there might be aboput this period so that I might be able to research them myself. I expect you know quite a bit about this. In the meanwhile good luck with your work
