The founders of Iceland were a 'small' group of Vikings, thus the people that currently live on the island are all descendants of that group.
As a result, accidentally dating someone who is a distant cousin of yours is a legitimate problem in Iceland! The Islendiga-App — "App of Icelanders" is a solution to the constant problem of running into people that you are related to.
By simply touching phones, the app detects whether or not you too close to each other on a family tree! The app connects the users to an online genetic database!
The people of Iceland have a fascination with genealogy, and have numerous resources to access records of someone's ancestors! The Vikings were proud people, and kept detailed records about who was in their lineage! Their family records are impeccable!
