I assume you know about this?

Genealogy is pretty easy for Icelanders--we can trace it all the way back to the 12th century.
But I think it's only fair to note that for people of more "Canadian" origin, the matter is quite different. Families and ethnicities have intermarried, people have moved away long distances and not kept in touch, etc., and this happens in every generation. Nowadays we are impressed if someone can trace their ancestry to Ellis Island, let alone the Mayflower.
