German prisoners of Boer War

[mwood1937]

Hi - I have been researching my Grandfather who was of German Descent, he moved to England and then emigrated to South Africa between 1897 and 1899. His name is Adam Schmidt, born in Germany in 1874 ( we believe Cologne) he was a Tailor working in Saville Row London before he emigrated to South Africa. He married Amelia Frankenberg in 1899, marriage registered in Port Elizabeth. We believe that he was interned by the British during the Boer War due to his German heritage, and we are trying to establish as to whether any lists exist showing when he was interned. Any information would be gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance.

I suggest that you contact the National Archives UK.  I see that FO 2/826 would appear to contain information about German prisoners of War (?) during the Boer War, and perhaps this would give you more information.  Lists in South Africa deal mainly with those who died during internment. 

Good luck
