This is David. We tracked our lineage back and below is how we connect to Leif and Erik. Back in 950 Úlfur and Björg married and had Valgerður and Jörundur. Jörundur had a daughter and she married Erik and is the Mother of Leif. My family descends from Valgerður. It’s probably fair to say that there aren’t many peope in Iceland that I can’t call a distant cousin!!!
