Snorri may have been the first European born in North America, apart from Greenland, but he wasn't necessarily born on the mainland of North America--it may have been Newfoundland. There are archaeological remains of a Norse settlement dating about A.D. 1000 at L'Anse aux Meadows near the northern tip of Newfoundland which were discovered in the 1960s.
