I know that there was some disappointment that a section on German ancestry would not be included in the upcoming workshop. We are hoping to get someone to speak on that subject at one of our meetings. The Palatine National Conference is going to be held in Columbus, Ohio this June. For those interested, I've provided a link. The conference brochure can be downloaded from this site. http://www.palam.org/conf/2003conf.htm <A HREF="http://www.palam.org/conf/2003conf.htm">Click here: 2003 National Conference - Palatines to America</A> Patricia
