Born in Reykjavik Iceland on the 7th of May 1974. 1974-1977 Lived my first 3 years in Reykir (V-Hunavatnssysla, Iceland) where my father taught at the Secondary municipal boarding-school (Héraðsskóli) and where my mother taught English in the primary school.

1977-1979 We lived at Laugar (Snæfellsnes, Iceland) where my parents taught at the primary school.

1979-1980 We lived for a year where my father filled in as the primary school headmaster during the official headmaster's one-year sabbatical leave.

1980-1985 During the summer of 1985 moved Reykholt (Borgarfjörður, Iceland) where my father took over as the headmaster of Reykholtskóli, a secondary municipal boarding-school. That autumn I entered the regional primary school at Klepjarnsreykir (Kleppjárnsreykjaskóli).

1985-1987 We lived in Farum, Denmark. During my father studies at DPU teachers university in Emdrup, Copenhagen and computer studies at the EDB school in Copenhagen.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Sigurður or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Sigurður Eysteinsson: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 700 markers, haplogroup R-Z39898, FTDNA kit #B543125, MitoYDNA ID T12603 [compare]

  • Sigurður Eysteinsson: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup T2a1a8, FTDNA kit #B543125, MitoYDNA ID Z10145 [compare]
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sigurður:

Sæll Sigurður,

Þú ert með formóður að nafni Una Jónsdóttir f. 1720 d. 25. júlí 1797 Mín formóðir var Vilborg Jónsdóttir f. 1727. Þær voru alsystur sbr. islendingabók. Móðir þeirra var Rannveig Jónsdóttir f. 1684 og Jón Höskuldsson f. 1679 d. eftir 1752 Ég leitaði að skyldleika okkar og styrsti skyldleiki erum við 7 og 9 liður frá Magnúsi Gunnlaugssyni í gegnum Klingenbergsættina, mín megin. En Rannveig er formóðir mín í 8 lið (ég er dótturdótturdóttur...dóttir hennar. beinn kvenliður. ) það vantar tengingu við móður hennar Rannveigar í islendingabok.is

Sæl frænka.

Veist þú hver móðir Rannveigar var?… og ef svo, geturðu gefið mér heimildina fyrir því? Því þá get ég bætt henni við hérna á WikiTree… það eru margar heimildir sem vantar á Íslendingabók. Kær kveðja

P.S. Fyrst þú ert afkomandi þeirra í beinan kvenlegg þá deilir þú með þeim Hvatbera DNA… veistu hver mtDNA haplógrúbban þín er?

Kvenleggurinn stoppar (eða byrjar) með Rannveigu, amk í Íslendingabók.

Það kemur fram að hún og Jón Höskuldsson, eiginmaður hennar bjuggu á Næfurholti árið 1729 ásamt 5 börnum: Þórarinn (f.1709), Una (f.1720), Guðlaug (f. 1922), Vilborg (f. 1927), og Jón (f. 1923). Skv. Manntali 1703 bjó Jón þá í Geldingalæk, Rangárvallahrepp ásamt fyrri eiginkonu og tengdamóður. Á bls. 294 Í Rangvellingabók eftir Valgeir Sigurðsson segir: "Jón Höskuldsson -1729-1733- ætt ókunn,Síðari kona, Rannveig f. 1684 á lífi 1729 Jónsdóttir, Bjarnasonar bónda á Hæli í Gnúpverjahreppi, Jónssonar..." og síðan eru talin upp börn þeirra. Að lokum kemur fram að Jón bjó í Skálholti í Gnúpverjahreppi árið 1752. Ég er enn að leita að frekari upplýsingum, en Rannveig er ekki tengd móður í islendingabok, þó að kona Jóns föður hennar og þeirra 4 synir koma fram. Kirkjubækur eru ekki á netinu frá þessum tíma.

Í dag 2 mai 2024 er ég ekki enn búin að "taka DNA testið" en það eru nokkur ár síðan ég verslaði 3 kit. Svo ég veit ekki hver happlogrúbba MtDNA er hef.

Við erum 3 systurnar sem allar eigum dætur. (og syni) Dóttir Stefaníu á einungis syni, Guðrún Torfhildur á 2 dætur Eldri dóttir hennar á son og dóttur og yngri dóttir hennar mun líklega einungis eiga einkason. Ég á síðan engin (og mun líklega aldrei eignast nein) barnabörn, Svo að Birna Dröfn Hallgrímsdóttir f. 2015 er eini einstaklingurinn sem hefur líffræðilega getu til að koma MtDNA okkar til næstu kynslóðar.

Það sem kemur fram er:

Birna 2015, systir hennar dó fyrir fæðingu.

Ólöf 1983 er dóttir Stefaníu. Sigríður f1982, Írís f1993, eru dætur Guðrúnar, og Guðrún 1991 er dóttir mín

Stefanía 1956, Guðrún 1959, Guðbjörg(ég) f 1961 erum alsystur

Eyrún f 1926-2002 systir hennar dó við fæðingu

Ólöf f. 1897-1985, Stefanía f. 1889-1903, Gróa f.1887-1954 báðar systur ömmu voru barnlausar

Ólöf f 1861-1949, 7 systur, ég veit ekki hvort einhver af móðursystrum ömmu eignuðust börn

Gróa 1829-1900 átti hálfbróður sammæðra

Kristín f 1788-1860, átti 6 alsystur, Vilborg, Kristín, Sigríður, Elín,Guðrún og Una (sama og Ólöf eldri)

Elín f.1759-1841 var skv. islendingabok einkadóttir

Vilborg f. 1727 átti 2 alsystur Una 1720-1797 og Guðlaug 1722-1787

Rannveig Jónsdóttir f. 1684 Föður foreldrar þekktir, móðir óþekkt.


Faðir Jón Bjarnason... Íslendingabok segir hann hafa verið einkason.

En Jón Espólín segir að Bjarni og Vilborg hafi átt 2 syni sem báðir fengu nafnið Jón. Jón Espólín skrifar að yngri sonurinn hafi flutt Suður-með-sjó... Vogum að Vatnsleysu.

Valgeir Sigurðsson segir að faðir Rannveigu hafi búið Í Kálfatjörn á Vatnsleysu þegar manntalið var tekið 1703.

Islendingabok. hafnar því að albræður hafi einnig verið alnafnar... og tengir Rannveigu sem dóttur Jóns Bjarnasonar f1954 við Votumýri.

Jón á Votumýri f. 1654 var yngri en Jón húsmaður í Naustakoti hjáleiga Kálfatjörn f. 1652

En föðursystir Rannveigu var prestfrú á Fellsmúla í manntali 1703 þar sem Rannveig var 19 ára þjónustustúlka

Genalega séð breytir það engu... Albræður og engar upplýsingar til staðar um móður Rannveigar.

Hello Sigurður,

Thanks for creating pre-1700 profile Ingibjörg Sigurðardóttir (abt.1515-aft.1595).

Please provide at least a birth or death location estimate rather than leaving both locations blank. This helps disambiguate people since we have a global tree, locations help distinguish one profile of the same name from another. Even an estimate such as a continent, e.g., Europe or North America, is better than blank. Please read more here. Please explain the rationale for your estimate in a = = Research Notes = = section.

In the case of Ingibjörg, you cited that she was a housewife in Iceland in 1529, from this it is reasonable to estimate she was born in Europe, possibly in Iceland.

For some reason I only saw your comment now. Checking out Ingibjörg Sigurðardóttir (abt.1515-aft.1595) I can see that I added estimated birth and death location. I suppose I must have added her and then been disrupted only to come back to it and finishing it up. Sometimes life happens in the middle of Genealogy ;-)...

But, as a rule, when I make a profile I add all the available information that I have at hand... including at least estimated birth or death location. If I have one and no information on the other... and there is some possibility that they might have been born or passed away abroad... I may leave one of them blank. There may be some profiles from when I first came on here that are more sparse... but I've been working on filling those out as well. If you run across one of those, the best way to get my attention is just to comment on those profiles... then it shows up on my history fead... I get so few comments down here that I barely check them out. All the best!

Hi, Sigurður,

Thanks for taking the Pre-1700 Quiz!

Because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants, working within the projects which coordinate them is essential.

Use the Pre-1700 Projects list to find one which best fits your research focus, whether time period, location, or topic. Read the goals and tasks of the project and join if it is a good fit.

Add the project tag to your Following list to be kept up to date on any activity that occurs for that project.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let me know, and I can make some suggestions! :-)

Greetings cousin! (6th half cousin once removed). Welcome to Wikitree!

Thank you cousin!

Sorry for the late reply. I got lost on other DNA genealogical sites for some time. But I'm back on here in full force. One of the things that I've been obsessed with trying to figure out is where the missing NPEs, that are messing up my DNA matches, fit in my tree. I now strongly suspect that one of them fits in the slot where Guðmundur Guðmundsson sits in my tree. Breaking up our shortest connection (1/2 6C1R). But that is not our only connection so even if that turns out to be true then we are still cousins ;-) ... just a little farther back... in line with the numerous small size segments (3cM) we share on GedMatch. Kind regards Your Icelandic cousin Siggi Jónas
