By: Lou D. MacWethy

This long respected work was the earliest to to provide a published list of names and genealogical information about the early Palatines of New York State, the original settlers of the Mohawk Valley. Palatines migrated across the continent with primary migration trails including to Canada and to the American west after the American Revolution.

More than 20,000 names are classified, combined, and arranged to enable the researcher to identify Palatine immigrants in relation to specific categories of records. Among the important lists of names are the following:

• The Kocherthal records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths, 1708-1719
• Palatine heads of families, from Gov. Hunter's Ration Lists, 1710-1714
• Lists of Palatines in 1709 (comprised of the 4 London lists of Palatines who emigrated to England from Germany, the majority emigrated to America, with a secondary migration of many to Canada after the Revolutionary War)
• Palatines remaining and newly arrived in New York, from the colonial census of 1710
• Names of Palatine children apprenticed by Gov. Hunter, 1710-1714
• various lists of Palatines in the colonial militia of New York
