I just thought of another book that I have that I hadn't considered a Palatine book for some reason until I was reading the email from Jean Stark Corwin. I have the book "The Bittinger, Bittner, Biddinger, and Bidinger Families--and Their Kin---of Garrett County, Maryland, by Wayen Bittinger. It is 836 pages of great information containing a great deal of information on some of the Irish Palatines who migrated from Ireland.. My ancestors from the Ruckle/Piper line migrated to Baltimore, MD in the 1790's. There were other Ruckles that migrated to Allegany/Garrett county in 1822. page 548: Ruckle Familly "Henry Ruckle, Sr. married Catharine Stark on April 29, 1813; their marriage was noted in parish records at the town of Kilfinane, in county Limerick, Ireland. Catherine (1788 or 1789--Jan. 23, 1850) was also born in Ireland." The Ruckle family came to the United States in 1822. Henry and Catharine "Ruckel" and their four children---Mary, Agnes, Margaret, and Thomas, boarded the ship "Weser" at the port of Limerick, Ireland. The ship arrived at New York City on May 9, 1822. American immigration records state that Henry was a farmer. Etta (Bittner) Kreger reproted that Agnes was six years old when the family immigrated. Etta said the Agnes lost her coat during the passage and mauch such a fuss that the ship's captain took pity and bought her a new one." etc. There were also other Ruckle families who migrated to Allegany/Garrett county around the same time...Members of my direct line of Ruckles migrated in that area also. There are a lot of IP surnames listed in the book..There is a 66 page index. If anyone has ancestors in this area I would be happy to look in the book and see if there is any information listed on them.... Carole
