Background
This is a Family tree of the Norse gods showing kin relations among notable gods and goddesses in Norse mythology. This family tree gives an example pedigree. With respect to kin relations of Norse gods, there are regional variations and disagreement among sources.

Ymir is the first being, a giant who was born from venom that dripped from the icy rivers Élivágar in the primordial void of Ginnungagap. The family tree will be broken up into Æsir and Vanir. Ásgarð is the home to the Æsir, the race of the gods and goddesses of war, and the most notable gods belonging to this race are Odin, Thor, Loki, and Baldur. The Vanir are one of the most important tribes in Norse mythology along with the Æsir, and the Vanir live in Vanaheim, one of the Nine Worlds held within the branches of the world-tree, known as Yggdrasil.

Æsir are indicated with boldface and Vanir are indicated with italics. Others are Jötnar.
