PALATINES TO AMERICA was founded at Columbus, Ohio, 12 July 1975. Beginning with a nucleus of 47 from throughout the U.S., the society now has over 2, 000-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 ) the Internal Revenue Service Code. The PURPOSE of this society is to promote the study of Germanic immigration to North America, to publish information of general interest, and to provide a means for members to exchange information and share research. MEMBERSHIP is open to anyone interested in the aims of the society. Current members include hobbyists, professional genealogists and other researchers who may be experts in particular fields, geographical areas, or time periods. These members may advise you on correspondence with European sources, or assist you by sharing their knowledge of books, periodicals, detailed maps, archives, libraries, and other resources. Some of the professional genealogists may give particular attention to the needs of other members. Please visit our Membership page for details on the benefits of membership. An ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE is held in June. Speakers, seminars, resource persons, and fellowship with other members fill two or more days. An ANNUAL NATIONAL MEETING is held in conjunction with the conference, with reports from officers and committees and election of officers.
