Jason Doctor - The Saga Project: Maps, Stories, and Icelandic Heritage

Jason tells us about how the Saga Project is making it easier for Icelandic descendants to connect to the lands of their ancestors through maps and stories in the Icelandic Roots genealogy database. 

 

Plus, Natalie gives a PSA on how to watch the new Viking Valhalla series on Netflix.
