Hi Connie and ALL I to am new to the list. I just found out my line is in the IP roots too. I am Sparling. My family went to Canada. I am in California. I still can not believe how much I have found out about my family so far. I just hope some day some one in the family will want to go on and do more from where I leave off from. My mother thinks I am nuts, and no one wants me to talk about it much any more. I think they just wish I would keep it to my self. Oh well. It is nice to see that there are others that love to do this as much as I do. I am glad to be able to read all of the great stories you have to share. I think we are all meant to find each other in this way.

Muriel Baerg. Its nice to know that someone else gets the same reaction when "Palatines" comes up in a conversation; I usually get "you told us before", "yes we know about the Palatines" etc, etc. My connection to the Irish Palatines is through Henry Mich - Micks - Mick. My great (3) grandparents Peter Mick and Elizabeth (Schumacher) Shoemaker and their sons and families came to Canada in 1848 and settled in a village that became known as "Micksburg". Micksburg is located in Stafford Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, South of the city of Pembroke. Armand Haley Stittsville, Ontario Canada BTW.

Is there such a thing as an Adobe Go Dead program? Big wrinkled grin, from Not-so-Hot-toes (somewhere jungly and a-crawl with vile creatures in the vast landmass of Western Europe). Ha. Find me if you dare. Thanks, Cyndi - you're a gem.

Hi, Connie and Armand and everyone out there in IP Cyber Space! Thank you for posting, you two. We're delighted to hear from you! In fact, all subscribers are invited to post and say, "Greetings", just to allow everyone to get acquainted with you and your IP interests. We have over 150 people subbed to this list... let's hear from lots of you, please! All of us have something to contribute... Connie, this is a great group of pleasant, friendly, helpful folks, all intent on ferreting out IP ancestral information, which is not all that easy to find... (forewarned is forearmed <g>). Looking forward to receiving lots of IP mail in the near future as "lurkers" decide to post and say, "G'day", or "Bonjour", or "Hola", or "Top o' the morning to ye", or just plain, "Hello". It will be great to "meet" each and every one... Wishing each of you the very best of the Best!

In deference to Admin: Hi, Cyndi. Welcome to the List. You will like us - we do not bite at all. Hey, Liz (Nobody else listen, please. This is private). If you want to tread on toes with polish, follow this boy. He does it COLOSSAL. Not only do I have plum jam fingers, I have leaden feet. Talk about a pile-driver to crack a nut.... Oh, God. Omigod. I mean: oh, God. I only put in that bit about C*ndi's List as an afterthought. It was at the end of a paragraph. I thought - what's a big Gene website? Oh, yes...of course. Well, there you go. This boy is a pro-fes-sional. Looking forward to the site, Liz (in NJ) - can I escape there for a while? Oh, God. (I expect HE'll send me an email now, for taking his name...). Keep smiling. For me. T (Lincs, Europe). PS Please say YOU'll still talk to me, Liz. You at least. Ogaaarrrrrd.

Oh Terry Just off IP subject for one minute if I may - you may believe that you are not a technical wizard on the box but I bet you don't have to walk down the street with your head hanging low, simply because you are the only dumbo in the whole world who has had to admit defeat and return the transcribed fiches you were checking for the 1891 census. Oh such shame as we are currently experiencing, we scuttle around Tesco in two minutes flat, fingers pointing as we go, people whispering, saying - "there goes that couple who, shock horror, couldn't cope with the 1891 chekcens" We will never live it down. Put a pen and paper in my hand and I will help the 2009 jamboree with whatever I can - but please don't let it involve any software. Hazel (and a subdued Trevor)

I've been lurking for the last couples of days.... newly subscribed to your entertaining list. Although I have nothing to offer, (I've just recently stumbled into my Irish Palatine roots), I would like to say that the conversation is entertaining and enlightening. I much admire the spirit of cooperation I've seen. So in the way of introduction... I am IP through my Great-Grandmother's line. Her name was Henrietta Dulmage. So far, I am aware of Dulmage's, Embury's & Roeckel's (Ruckles) kicking around in the family tree. I also have some questions about another family line of Platner's (Blattner's). There are hints of Palantine but I don't know about Irish Palatine? There, that's better. I was feeling like a bit like a voyeur. I welcome any family history anyone may have to share and will eagerly pursue the suggestions for research sources I find sprinkled amongst the friendly chatter. Thanks Connie

Teryy, I was wondering, if, you had anything on: Rt. Hon. Thomas BRODERICK esq., enclosed. Again, I had written you a couple of weeks ago on the surname of TWISS, enquiring, if, you had anything on this Family. I do realize you are quite busy, but, was wondering, what, then are you, or, how you are going to set up the Families which you had mentioned in your last message who were of the PALATINE Familes? Thank you very much.

Berta, I wish to thank you so very much for the enclosed! Do you live in Eire, or, the States? I live in British Columbia, Canada. If you find out anymore on Your Branch, please, send it my way at the enclosed addy, or, at: [email protected] Or, it may be 47, I can not seem to remember it all the time! :) May, I please, pass on your name and addy to other TWISS members who are researching the TWISSes in Eire? You may pass out my name and addy to other TWISS researchers. Also, do you know of any other TWISSes in Eire, and, espcially any who are researching Our Tree? Please, keep in touch, as I will you! Lastly, would you like a copy of what I have on Our TWISS family in Eire? If so, please, send me your SNAIL MAIL. Thank you very much.

Cyndi Ouch. I love you. Really. Here's how it is: you've helped me enormously - at no charge. I was being facetious.

Terry, I'm with you. The Palatine website sounds like a great idea. When I mention "Palatine" to any of my family or friends they look at me with a dazed look and say "What's that? Not genealogy again........!" I'm sure it would be most helpful to the unenlightened among us, not to mention those who are just beginning their search. I noticed in this most recent of your messages the mention of your Bovenizer cousins. This is just a stab-in-the-dark, but I have been searching for ages for the Mary Bovenizer, baptised 18 Oct 1767 who married John Switzer 4 Jan 1785 (both events appear in the Rathkeale register.) I am looking for a John Switzer, who was the father of my gg.grandfather, Jonathan Switzer of Croom and eventually of Clarina. If this doesn't ring a bell with you, I wondered it one of your Bovenizer cousins might know. I agree with you - this list is great .

If you would be so kind as to set up that page for IP info., Liz, that would be terrific. The more we get out the word, the more "cousins" might stumble upon and join our delightful group! And the more who join us, the more who might just have the clue to breaking down others' brick walls.

Dear Hazel - ><<We will never live it down. Put a pen and paper in my hand and I will >help the 2009 jamboree with whatever I can - but please don't let it >involve any software. >Hazel (and a subdued Trevor)>> Hehehehe... Not to worry, your secret is safe with us - all 145 of us! Right, y'all? Besides, Hazel, there are enough geeks on this list to take up the slack.... computer geeks, microfilm geeks and even microfiche geeks. So, if you have a question, you can ask it here and somebody is likely to have just the right answer or suggestion for you and Trevor. All the best, Susan
