This is the definitive work that lists the names of about 12,000 Palatine settlers, with the names of persons in their families, and the dates of emigration. Their major destinations and places of settlement were Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys of New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Informative!,
By Paul Borst (pborst@prodigy.net) (New York State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration (Paperback)
My 8th Great Grandfather was a Palatine. This book taught me more about my family history than I could ever find elsewhere. The book is a well written history book which as an interested party, I couldn't put down. If you are related to Palatines, I think you need this book !

Wow!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Early Eighteenth Century Palatine Emigration (Paperback)
No one knew that the British government way back when was really so strained for new ideas. Their colonies were prosperous, pillage was rampant, but they were so bored on the homefront that they started writing fetishistic stories about navels. That's right, as odd as it sounds, this is one of those missing-from-history-books episodes in a glorious tradition. (A superlative collection of these belly button stories is available from Random House.)
