    “Pistorius” family from South Africa is of German origin, and not even from early Colonial times: https://www.geni.com/people/Friedrich-Heinrich-Pistorius-SV-PROG/6000000005055960364?through=6000000005064149246

    Actually only 30% of Afrikaner genome is ethnically Dutch on average. German or French Huguenot surnames are equally common.
