Books About The Icelandic

Many
books have been written about the Icelandic
immigration to
The
original bibliography of books about the Icelandic immigrants and their
descendants, on which this summary is based, was prepared by
I
have organized the titles according to the content of the books, as far as I am
aware of those contents. I may have some
of the titles listed with the wrong settlement.
I was not able to assign many of the titles to the appropriate
settlement, because not enough information was available to me.
Therefore,
please help us to improve both the accuracy and value of this list by examining
the titles as they relate to your particular settlement. If a book has not been listed, please send me
an email with the Title, Author,
Publisher, and Date of Publication.
Also,
if I have placed a title with the wrong settlement, please send an email with
instructions to correct the error to:
I
hope this bibliography is of use to you, as you research your heritage.

than a local history book. Mostly a history/genealogy of individual families
of Icelandic descent in one settlement in Manitoba. Yet, it is also a history
of 'New Iceland' in North America. The author enriches the family histories
of settlers by providing lists of relatives of the settlers in Iceland plus
the places of origin in Iceland of these settlers. Professor Haraldur
Bessason states that the author has established 'ties between thousands of
Icelandic North-Americans and their native Iceland', and has created 'a more
meticulous piece of research than any previously undertaken in the fields of
Icelandic ethnic history'. Many photos. Scarce. Ævi og ætt Halls Jónssonar frá Byggðarholti í
