It's interesting to encounter Palatines on this list. At one time our area had an active Palatines to America Chapter - I think centered in Columbus, OH (?) - with a group of it organized to meet in my home-town. By that time, although still very much feeling a product primarily of the UK - father descended from mostly Scottish and Scotch-Irish roots, I uncovered a lot of German on my Mother's side with a wee bit creeping in through marriage on my father's side - also I was studying German in college at that time - so I became a member. When the group here in town disbanded, I lost touch eventually with the main Chapter. By any chance does anyone know if this still exists as a national genealogical group? Janet Mc.
