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
