Stefan is a busy guy with lots of other projects but he helps Icelandic Roots by adding information on the Clergy. He is also great at promoting IR in the Lögberg-Heimskringla newspaper and in various presentations he gives.
Gerri has done much genealogy and research. She is not an active part of the IR Team but helps with research on occasion. We look forward to her continued support in the years to come.
