Description: In 1709 groups of German protestants immigrated to Ireland to escape political unrest and religious persecution. Many of these were enroute to America, but chose to stay in Ireland for various reasons. The author has researched every clan, colony and leading commentator on the Irish Palatines to weave together the history presented here.
