Below are the websites I usually refer to. I'd steer clear of Godchecker, while it provides a useful listing of the names of various gods, its information isn't the most reliable. Wikipedia isn't necessarily the best resource, but it is a decent starting point usually and from what I've seen their articles on Norse mythology are actually pretty good. Maybe have a look through their footnotes and external links for the sources their editors are using. Also, bear in mind that oftentimes there are different interpretations, versions and regional variations of the same myth - many Greek gods have several variations on their parentage, and even the Bible has two separate creation stories; in a lot of cases, there isn't one correct version. When Wiki states 'the same stories from two different approaches', what they're doing is presenting the facts. Hope the links help!
