Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA Testing?

On second thoughts the Icelandic naming system must be rather difficult to follow for genealogy! Johnsdottir and Johnsson, Sigurdsdottir and so on......
I would get lost by about the third generation!!!
Icelandic naming system is actually quite easy, everybody is on a first name basis so there is no "Johnsdottir" or "Sigurdsdottir" and the last name tells you the name of the father.
This makes it very easy to trace linages and tell who is who in a family.
