There is a legend common to the many
branches of the
Egbert family about being descended from King Egbert. Some have stated
they made the connection, but so far no information has been found to
confirm it. As much information as possible of the Egbert Family has
been included.
If you have new information to share, comments to make, or mistakes to correct it will all be gratefully accepted.
