Sue, If you are related, than hello cousin.
This is all I have on Agatha:
Agatha (abt 1025-after 1066), wife of Edward the Exile. She was identified by Szabolcs de Vajay, as the daughter of Liudolf, Margrave of West Friesland and his wife Gertrudis, who was probably daughter of Hugo IV of Egisheim, count of the Lower Alsace. Liudolf's mother, Gisela of Swabia, married three times and his father was her first husband Bruno, Count of Brunswick. Giselda's second husband was Ernst of Babenberg, Duke of Swabia, and her third husband was Conrad II the Salian, German king and Holy Roman Emperor, by whom she became the mother of the Emperor Heinrich III. This explains why Agatha is always referred to as a niece of the German Emperor "Henry."
