Where did the English Berget family come from? What is the English Berget family crest and coat of arms? When did the Berget family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Berget family history? Berget is a name whose history is connected to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Berget family once lived in Cheshire, where they held a family seat near Birkenhead at the estuary of the River Birket. It is from the name of the river that their name is derived.Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Berget family name include Birket, Birkett, Bircket, Burkett, Birckett, Burket, Burkert and many more. First found in Cheshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Berget research.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived.
