Question:

Was there any point of Afrikaner or white South African immigration into the United States?

I am interested in the relationship between the Dutch Afrikaners or white South Africans of English origin and the United States, not for any political reason but merely because I am researching my own genealogy. Were Afrikaners part of the great immigration influx of the late 1800s and early 1900s? If so, where did they settle? Are there any Afrikaner or South African communities in the States or were there ever?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes there were I know of a few that I have met. Try contacting the US Immigration service and ask them. You may even need to Goggle it.
Good Luck.
