Description:
IRELAND, The PALATINE FAMILIES of. 2nd ed. By Henry Z Jones Jr., FASG. 192 pp. 18 photos, maps, & illus; index. Paperback. 1990.
"Well worth having by all genealogists with Palatine ancestry or whose interests touch upon the information it contains. The research costs thus saved will far outweigh the nominal cost of this book." - The National Genealogical Society Quarterly.
"This is an excellent source for information, with no leaps to conclusions, but careful documentation of the material presented." - The Palatine Immigrant.
"This is a companion volume to The Palatine Families of New York, 1710, and becomes another essential resource for Palatine genealogy." - The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record.
"This book provides an excellent history of the whole migration, documentation of 172 different surnames, and the German ancestry of 33 families. Excellent." - The Detroit Society for Genealogical Research Magazine.
"Picton Press is noted for the quality of the books they publish. They use acid-free paper and take great pride in providing smyth sewn, case bound hardcover books. They take equal pride in what appears on the printed pages. This book is no exception. Rarely does one find such a definitive study in print. Seldom can we be sure that the research is of a quality to be trusted. Here we have both." - Der Kurier, Journal of the Mid-Atlantic Germanic Society.
Representing 30 years of research, this study of the 1710 Palatine immigrants to Ireland includes documentation on 172 different surnames and for 33 of the families there is an added bonus - establishment of their German ancestry - making that vital but difficult link back into Germany.
There is also an addendum on 'possible' Palatine families in Ireland, where documentation is lacking. Many descendants of the 1710 settlers moved later in the 18th century to Canada and America. The Germanic names now often sound 'Irish' and many descendants, whether in Ireland, Canada, or America, are unaware of their heritage.
