Well, just what would you like to know?There is no line back to Leifur Eiríksson for a very simple reason - he does not have any known descendants.
Tracing the ancestry of Elísabet Anna is pretty easy, though, and she has a large number of known ancestors in Iceland.
For example, Elísabet Anna was the daughter of Guðfríður Guðmundsdóttir (1872), who was the daughter of Guðmundur Lárusson (1837), who was the son of Lárus Ólafsson (1790), who was the son of Ólafur Mosdal Ólafsson (1758), who was the son of Ólafur Jónsson (1684), who was the son of Steinunn Jónsdóttir (1644), who was the daughter of Þóra Sigurðardóttir (ca. 1605), who was the daughter of Sigurður Markússon (ca. 1573) who was the son of Ragnheiður Björnsdóttir (ca. 1545) who was the daughter of Björn Jónsson (ca. 1506) who was the son of Jón Arason (1484).
This Jón Arason was the last Catholic bishop of Iceland (which did not stop him from having several children with his mistress), until he was executed in 1550.
Another of her ancestors was Egill Skallagrímsson (29 generations back), a very famous poet and homicidal maniacs of the viking era.
Tracing the ancestry is easy...you just need to be a bit more specific on just what you are looking for.
