Palatines to America - German Genealogy Society
Researching German Speaking Ancestors

Palatines to America (Pal Am) is a German genealogy society dedicated to the study of ancestors from all German speaking lands. The society takes its name from the fact that some of the earliest German-speaking immigrants to the American colonies came from a region in present-day Germany known as the Palatinate (Pfälz) and were called Palatines (Pfälzers). The founding members of Pal Am all had ancestors from this area of Germany. For more information about the Palatinate region and the Palatines Click here.

Pal Am maintains a rapidly growing library that is available to all who are researching German ancestry. The society maintains a website which provides ancestor information submitted by its members previously available only through the library. Pal Am publications include a quarterly journal and other publications on German genealogical research. Pal Am maintains a bookstore which specializes in Germanic history and genealogy. The items in this bookstore are available for sale online, in our newsletter and at our National Office in Columbus, Ohio.
