Palatines to America - German Genealogy Society


Indiana Chapter



The Indiana Chapter was the second state chapter of Palatines to America to be formed. The first organizational meeting was held at a private home in 1976. The first formal meeting of the chapter was held April 16, 1977.

The chapter holds a spring meeting and a fall workshop, with quality speakers and topics chosen. A quarterly newsletter is a benefit sent to Indiana chapter members.

Robert A. McDougal, M.D., chapter member, has compiled indexes of three German groups, the "Athenaeum Turners", the "Indianapolis Gardeners", and the "Pioneers of the North American Turners". These indexes relate to periods dating from 1862 to 1918.

Chapter officers: Corresponding & Recording Secretary, Betty Warren, (Blwarren49@aol.com); Treasurer, Nancy Meyer, (Jnmeyer@tds.net).
