Argentina in the 21st century has several residents with surname "Forlong" or "Forlonge", some of them Facebook friends of Forlonges and Forlongs in Australasia. By January 2021, no genealogical link had been found.
One in Argentina is Facundo Forlong. He was asked if he could clarify the relationship by giving the names of his father and father's father and so on. His first response included this:
- Tengo 30 años y la abuela de mi papá vino de islanda
- Crío solo sus hijos
- Eso se del apellido
- Que tengo
Web translation was:
- I'm 30 years old and my dad's grandmother came from Iceland
- I raise only your children
- I know the last name
- That I have
