I've got hat book too, a first class work on the Irish Palatines, my Great Grandmother was: Louisa Jane DELMAGE 16th September 1871 Newington, Surrey, England, daughter of Benjamin Eliezer DELMAGE born in Rathkeale 7 September 1822. I, as a child, met her, although my memory is a bit vague, but I think it was on her 90th birthday. I highly recommend Patrick's work as well.

O' Connor is an excellent read on Irish Palatines. It covers in depth the history behind why they left the Palatinate and the settlements in Ireland and the names of some of the families who lived in the various settlements. Most fascinating for anyone who really wants to understand the whole picture of our ancestors who were Irish Palatines. I ordered it via interlibrary loan.
