Hi I am new to the List and would be most grateful for any help I may receive. My GGGG grandfather and GGG Grandmother immigrated to Australia in about 1839/41 from Dundalk Co Louth Ireland. Their surname was MOURITZ. The earliest MOURITZ member to be found so far in Ireland would be about Joseph MOURITZ d. 1791 aged 61years b. Abt 1730. I have always thought that MOURITZ was a very unusual Irish name and while investigating came across the Palatines. So I am hoping someone may be able to help me to discover if my family are Palatines. Regards Tania Queensland, Australia
