Question
Can you please direct me to source that can provide information for a group / society / creed of Argentinians:

- at the end of the United States' Civil War (1860's), some confederate familes from the United States' south emigrated to Argentina.  Purportedly, many became successful farmers and ranchers, and the future generation / their hertiage exist to this day.

Answer
Thank you very much for writing.
Regarding your question, I´m afraid to tell you that as far as I am concerned, I haven´t heard of a group of american expatriates in Argentina. There is quite a large community of British people but I´m not really sure about Americans.  I do know many people from USA but they are all scattered. I will try to find out and get back to you. I would appreciate if you could send another question so that I can provide you with the results of my inquiry (because the only way I can post is by replying to questions). Please give me a couple of days to find out. Thanks again.

Expertise

I was born in Argentina and have lived ever since so I can answer all kinds of questions about my country. I have also visited other countries and that has given me a wider perspective which enables me help foreigners in a better way. I have travelled along Argentina, from the north to the south and have been to almost its 22 provinces. I have also worked for a travel agency in the inbound tourism department. I enjoy being a hostess very much and feel willing to assist foreigners in the best possible way.

Experience

Have travelled a lot along the country. I´ve been in charge of the inbound tourism department at a travel agency. I worked in Japan as a volunteer for a culture exchange organization, giving lectures about Argentina.
