hey just thought id let you know that both gerardus and johanna are very very common names in holland.
both my grandparents were born in holland: gerardus egbers m. johanna de wit, they both immigrated to new zealand in their 20's around the early 1950's. my family has little contact with the egbers' back in holland so it would be cool to hear from anyone that knows about the egbers lineage from alkmaar, friesland??
nb. the best way to figure out who is who is to find out if you can their middle names for example my grandfathers middle name is cornelius ie gerardus cornelius egbers aka. gerard egbers

hi
my family comes from the utrecht area. maybe the egbers in new zealand are related somehow. there are only three generations here in new zealand so it could be likely.
my grandfather, gerardus egbers moved to new zealand after serving in the indonesian war around 1950.
his family is still in the netherlands but i know little of them and my grandfather has passed away so i cannot gain info off him.

Hallo Nico: I also would like you to know that this family has family members here in Canada too. Isn't that great!
We are trying to put together the parts of our genealogy and it becomes difficult when we are not in your country. Do you or anyone in your family do genealogy? Well, take care.

Hi Nico: I am also using the internet for sources and hope they are correct. I was also fortunate in getting some history and photos sent to us. If you think we could help ech other with genealogy for the Egbers family, please email me and I will let you have the bits I have here. In return I appreciate the same. What do you think?

Hi and thank you for answering my quest. I am very interested in learning more about my husband's maternal grandmother's side of the family. Thanks. I will email you for the list as well. Thanks again for answering.

Hi Don: My husband's maternal grandmother was an Egbers. She was born in Soest, Utrech, Netherlands. She emmigrated to Canada with her husband, Evert Grift. We have little information about the Egbers side of the family so far. Maybe we could correspond, and maybe we can find out if the two families are related. Thank you for answering my quest.

Re: Cartagenian of Alan Boat Line

amdv_1 — 2003-03-26 01:51:05Z

As you have noticed, the ship's name was Cartagenian of the Alan Boat Lines. We are wondering about the family's journey from Everbeek , Belgium to Liverpool, and from there to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Any ideas anyone?

How funny,

I have a cousin with the name Nico Egbers. However, he is not a computer programmer.
But his big hobby is geneology about the history of the Egbers Family. His search took him back to the 1700's.
I am dutch from origin and emigrated to the USA in 1996.

Most of my family comes from the eastern part of the Netherlands, around Varsseveld and Doetinchem
If any body needs this list, e-mail me at Mregbers@aol.com

Well hi Anette,
No, I do not know of anyone performing research on Egbers ancestors in the Netherlands. I have done so myself, for the village I lived in, in 1971. Afterwards I graduated in Modern History and everyone expected me to dive into the archives, but that would be too difficult a task. The grandfather of my grandfather was the last one to be registered with a last name, after Napoleon introduced family names in (then occupied) Hollland in 1810, or so. So the family cannot be traced before that, as everyone was registered like "Jan, the son of Piet and Marie", or in the best case "Jan, the son of Piet the Blacksmith and Marie from Wim at the mill".
I am a computer programmer, these days, and I wait for the blessing of internet to provide access to sources of genealogy.

Greetings, Nico Egbers, The Netherlands.

Hi!
My name is Don Egbers and I have a family history book of Egbers. My grandparents came over from Germany in the early
1900's and settled in Holland Michigan.

I know that Johanna is a very common name however, if your
husbands Grandmother ever mentioned George Egbers in Holland
than we may be related.
Don
now in Florida.

Cartagenia of Halan Boat Line

AVerniest — 2002-05-31 16:35:22Z

I am looking for more information concering the immigration of my greatgrandparents from Belgium to Canada. They boarded a ship called Cartegnia. It is supposed to be of the Halan Boat Line. Does anyone have any information about this ship? They used it in March 1903.

Hello,
Just to show my interest: I was somewhat surprised to learn of an Egbers family in Soest.My family comes from the north-western part of the same province, Utrecht. Soest is in the north-east.
Most Egbers families come from the east of the Netherlands, the Almelo/Enschede region. A language teacher once told me that the name is probably related to the dutch word 'eiber', which means: stork. You know, the bird.
Greetings, Nico

My husband's grandmother was Johanna Egbers. She is the daughter of Gerardus Egbers and Marie Westervelt. She was born August 14, 1882 in Soes, Holland, in the Netherlands.
She married Evert Grift, son of Johannes Grift and Cornelia Roeten. I would like to know if anyone else has any ties
to the family. I have no more information of the family before they left Europe to come here to Canada. Thanks.
