∙ 14y agoLeif Ericsson was born in Iceland. That must be the place he started from. But Leif also lived in what is now Norway for a while. His sailing voyage to North America undoubtedly passed through Iceland even if it did not start there. The boat that reached what is now Canada was bought on Greenland from a Bjarni Herjólfsson who was the first known European to sight the North American mainland in 986.

Did Leif Erickson have a wife and a family?
Leif Erickson, who was born around 970 AD, did in fact have a family, or I would not be here today! Anyone can read upon his history, and clearly see that he had a wife, who was some princess who he married, and had a son with during his expedition. Erickson had 3 siblings, so there is definitely an existing family tree. I was recently discussing my family generation with my nanny, and our family is of Norwegian Heritage. I am unsure exactly how we are related so I have been doing some personal research. Also the roots of Erickson, is some how connected further down the path with the founders of the Mayo Clinic in the United States, which was established roughly around 1880.
