Afrikaners in America

The 49 Afrikaners are not the first to move from South Africa to America. After the Anglo Boer War former Boer fighters settled in Argentina, South America while for e.g. two others settled in North America – incidentally both were in New York, Sgt Andries (Andy or “Tall Andy”) Geyer rose to the rank of sergeant in the New York Police Department (NYPD) and at one time directed traffic on the intersection of Broadway and 42-Street – one of the busiest places in the world. The other one I know of is Fritz Joubert Duquesne – he became amongst other things a spy for the Germans during the Second World War and he and his Spy Ring (including a South African German from Pretoria) was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
