I remember that at the Facebook R1a m458 page , there was a guy with L1029 from South Africa. Most of the German settlers in South Africa came from the Rhineland, and many of those in the Rhineland were only a generation or two removed from Bohemia due to emigration after the Thirty Years War

Yes, that is true. The Thirty Years War caused a lot of migration in central Europe, and many went to South Africa afterwards, after going to the Dutch Republic initially.Quote:
