Thanks for the informative posts. I don't find the Boers boring.

Hi folks. I uploaded a web page which deals with the French Huguenot character of many South Africans & Boers. I compiled a list of some famous & prominent South Africans & Boers who have French surnames & even some first names.

Famous South Africans With French Names.

Famous Boers With French Names.

The Names of the French Huguenot Ancestors.

The third link is a list I found in a French book written in France but available in Quebec which lists a number -though apparently not all- of the French Huguenot ancestors who left France due to religious persecution & arrived in the Cape during the late 1600s & early 1700s.

I am also working on posting information on a few nations.

Nations.

The site is still a work in progress. I am hoping on having a page dealing with the Boer Republics up soon.
