Four stars for documentation and tidy summaries at the end of each chapter. A very useful book for anyone with Palatine ancestors or interest in English or American history. Interesting that the plight of the Palatines is very similar to those of Syrians and others displaced by war in our times. Nothing much changes.

An excellent genealogy source document. Available online! Don't waste your money on a hard copy.
Someone else said "nothing relevant here, only 1709". I so disagree. Yes, this talks about the mass exodus of the Palatinate which centers around the 1709 event but it gives detailed information about the families involved, what happened to them when they arrived in London and then on to America to New York and then to Pennsylvania. If you want to know about this journey of many families, then this book is it. It is very much like reading a report but that is to be expected. Every fact is backed up by a source.

Another book on a fascinating subject of ancestry that I got interested in by watching an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? I thought this could help possibly have some information in it for me to use with research. An interesting subject.

Meticulously researched book about the Palatine emigration from Germany to Colonial New York. Absolutely invaluable resource. If you have Palatine ancestry, you need to read this book. Also, an excellent example of a historical study done on a group of people.

Nothing relevant in here. Refers to 1709 only.
