From: "Lorine McGinnis Schulze" <otg@csolve.net> To: TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2003 16:57:47 -0500 Subject: [TSL] *updates* Palatines to NY 1709-1710 online Hi everyone I've been working on new files to help complete my existing set of records online for Palatines (Germans) to New York. I spent two days cleaning out my filing cabinets (gulp!) and going through all my old files, and found some records I forgot I had! So I spent today typing them up and getting them online for everyone to enjoy. To start at my index to Palatine information online, including my own Palatine ancestors, see http://olivetreegenealogy.com/pal/ I found some really great information - one being the Letters of Denization (English term for a foreigner becoming an English subject) for the 50 plus Palatines waiting to leave England for New York. It's at http://naturalizationrecords.com/usa/ny_denization.shtml Denizations of Palatines waiting to come to NY from England, August 1708 (over 50 names of those about to sail) Another was odds 'n ends of interesting letters and documents regarding those same Palatines wanting to set sail (which they did in late 1709). I typed up a list of those who had received promised tools before they embarked. It's at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/pal_engtony.shtml Details of ships and Palatines sailing from England to New York in the 1st and 2nd wave of immigration (1709, 1710) (Includes a list dated 29 April 1710 of those Palatines who have received tools in readiness for sailing) I also found a list of orphaned and impoverished children of Palatine settlers in New York, who had been forcefully apprenticed. The records contain the names and ages of the children, the date of their apprenticeship, who they were bound to and whether orphaned or not. If not, the name of one parent is given. Usually these children not orphaned who were apprenticed were from large families, often with a widowed mother who was struggling to feed her family. Because the record starts in August 1710, we know that the children first on the list were in that first wave of ships arriving in NY (since he passenger lists have been lost, this is a good alternate resource) List of Palatine Children Apprenticed by Gov. Hunter 1710-1714 http://olivetreegenealogy.com/pal/pal_kids1710-14.shtml Have fun!

I am re-forwarding this because these are the slave narratives done by the WPA in the 1930s, when they interviewed all over the south ex-slaves or sons/daughters of slaves. I have seen one book that collected some of the NC slave narratives and it was riviting reading. The site is searchable by state and perhaps by surname (of slave or owners). I had no idea that it was on the internet, apparently in its entirety.
