Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

    • They lived in an area called on some maps, New Iceland. The town of Gimli was sort of the capital of New Iceland. I do not know at this point whether they lived in Gimli, or out in the country in this area. I'm going to write to the local genealogical society there and see what I can find out. Gimli is about 55 miles northeast of Winnipeg.
