Palatines to America-German Genealogy Society (Chapters in CO, IN, NY, NC, OH, PA)
About:
PALATINES TO AMERICA was founded in Columbus, Ohio, 12 July 1975. Beginning with a nucleus of 47 individuals from throughout the U.S., the society now has about 800 members. It is incorporated as a non-profit organization under an Ohio Charter, and, along with its conforming Chapters, is an approved charitable organization under Section 501(c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code.
A NATIONAL CONFERENCE is held every other year, usually in June. Speakers, seminars, resource persons, and fellowship with other members fill two or more days. This is an event you do not want to miss.
CHAPTERS are organized to encourage personal participation, to make possible more fellowship, and to provide easy access to local workshops and research within an area. Most chapters publish a newsletter, print publications, and hold conferences, workshops, and seminars. Currently, Palatines to America has chapters in Colorado, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. When you renew your membership, be sure to choose a chapter so you do not miss out on information in their newsletter.
