Genealogical register for the Jordaans in South Africa

Did you know that:

  • The origin of the Jordaans can be traced back to 970AD.
  • Originally Jourdan, derived from Jourdain, the French name for the river Jordan in the Palestine. After the crusades it became a popular first name in France and many surnames were derived from that.
  • There are already over 33 300 Jordaan names in the genealogical register.
  • This is the ideal opportunity to establish a Jordaan family association. Such an association will introduce contact between the Jordaans, will organize functions and publish a newsletter.
