Probably. In the USA there have been many famous Americans with Dutch ancestors. Their Dutch heritage is evident through their last name. Although many people don't know that they have Dutch ancestors, an American surname such as Vanderlay, which does not appear Dutch, actually comes from the Netherlands, from the Dutch surname Van der Lay.
