Uncovering Icelandic Immigrant Faces | Winnipeg News
Description
Uncover forgotten Icelandic ancestors through social media sleuthing—volunteers are using Facebook to match old photos from the 1800s and 1900s with living descendants, tracing immigrant stories from Canada’s Manitoba. Led by dedicated volunteers like Blair Swanson, this project by Icelandic Roots has already identified 69 out of 300+ photos, honoring a culture where family lineage is sacred. If you’ve got old Icelandic photos, submit them—they might just be the key to someone’s lost past.
