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
