His name is Þórður Kárasson and lived about 0885. Shouldn't his name be spelled Kárason? And what would his father's first name be?

So you really can't go wrong. As for the surnames - it's not that hard to keep track of people when the population is only 300,000. :) Karol – the Jóns are listed by their first, middle and last names, then their profession, and then their address.

The truth is that I have spent some major time learning to read the Niceland phone book. For the most part, Alda, I had to figure it out on my own. Amazing. WOW. I can manage.. somewhat With that said, I agree with Maja...for I also refresh the page just to see another wonderful photo :) Bless,Bless Dear Alda,

You have a unique but awkward system if you ask me. I think Mongolians and Indonesians have a similar one. How do you find the Jon that you are looking for, if there are many Jons in the book? How do you keep your genealogy under control if there is no last name to look to? Greetings from Toronto, where I think you lived for some time.

People here always get some amusement from the Jon Jonsson thing. The photos that pop up every time you load the iceland weather report page are magnificent, I must say. Sometimes I refresh just to see another photo. My dad’s name in australia is Jon (Bjorn) Jonsson (Sigga from above’s brother) although his real name is Jon Bjorn Magnusson.

Here in the UK our phone books have become so small. So many people are now ex-directory – I think we're all getting fed up with cold callers trying to sell us something that we don't want!

Thanks for zour comments ... just wrote a lengthz response before the operation was cancelled ... am on a timed internet thingz at the hotel. I see, though, that naming conventions in Niceland will have to be the subject of a separate post ... hope I can address zour questions then! Hi everzone!
