Where can I find information on the Norse settlers of Caithness, and Orkney. I am interested in Sigurd DIGI HOLDVIRSSON'S ancestry. He married the daughter of Malcolm II. Le

Much of the early history of Orkney is in the "The Orkneyinga Saga" one of the early (12th century) Icelandic Sagas that documents the early Nordic history of Orkney. (see http://www.orkneyjar.com/history/saga.htm for much more information) Also check the library/archives in Kirkwall (see http://www.orkneylibrary.org.uk/) And a good general site for all thing Orcadian (see http://www.orkneyjar.com/) Sheila ----- Original Message ----- From: "Le Bateman" <LeBateman@netzero.net> To: <SCT-CAITHNESS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 4:24 PM Subject: Sigurd > Where can I find information on the Norse settlers of Caithness, and > Orkney.
