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.

Snorri's grandfather was Carhal, the High King of Ireland in that day, right?
