OUR PURPOSE 

The purpose of this society is to promote the study of Germanic immigration to North America, to publish information of general interest, preserve information relating to early German immigrants and to provide a means for members to exchange information and share research.

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.
