Welcome to the Pennsylvania Chapter of Palatines to America
Did your forebears emigrate to Pennsylvania from a German (aka Palatine) state? Are you interested in those Pennsylvania Germans? This is the place to learn more about them and find tips, clues, and resources to further your research. If your ancestors arrived in Philadelphia during the 1700s, the men were marched from the docks to the courthouse pictured above to sign the Oath of Allegiance (see the Research Links for the Pennsylvania German Pioneer series to learn more). Members have access to additional resources, including searchable newsletters back to the first in 1978.

New DNA Features and Tools:
DNA tools are advancing fast and it's hard to keep up! Some of these tools are free, some require a fee and several recognized testing companies can provide you with your male or female Haplogroup - now you can trace your Haplogroup back to Genetic Eve or Adam.
