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.

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
