The Great Palatine Migration | Pennsylvania Dutch

The Pennsylvania Dutch are descendants of the Palatines of the Holy Roman Empire. The nature of this group's cohesion allowed the Pennsylvania Dutch ethnicity to exist.

The HRE in 1709 funding wars through wealth confiscation and inflationary fiscal policy, sounds like the USA in 2023.

Thank you for this excellent video. I have about 15% Palatine - Pennsylvania Dutch German ancestry that settled in both Pennsylvania and New York in addition to about 5% French Huguenot. The story of persecution and attempted genocide of this people is an almost never told story whose descendents deserve compensation and recognition.

Thank you for the excellent video. Much appreciated. My ancestors came from the Palitinate area of Germany to Eastern Pennsylvania (Franklin County) in late 1600s. I got to visit what was left of Fort Stover in 1984. Pretty amazing history,

@Pennsylvania Dutch, I have 3 lines of Palatinate Ancestors, two came into New York during the very first wave in 1709 (Kobel, Dieffenbach) and one that came to Lancaster PA in 1732 (Kappeler).

My New Yorkers came down the river into Lancaster County from Schoharie Valley.

I published my book "The Cobler Family Story From Palatinate Germany to 20th Century America" on all the major platforms. I've interwoven the Family Narratives in with American and World Events.

Of those who emigrated to New York, my grandfather was one. His name was Jörg Martinus Dällenbach. He was from Lauperswil. The family story is that we are descended from Wilhelm Däll, or William Tell, of Apple and Archery fame. 😊

I live in the Hudson valley of NYS and I’m very happy to learn about the palatines.

Warning, this video jumps over 80 years. The monetary policy was well removed from the rising costs of living nearly a century later

I'm in the early stages of it but going through some of my father's genealogy records after his death connects some branches of my Hager family to this migration

[davidemmet]

I just found out that one of my ancestors was a Palatine, I think that I might be due some reparations!

Revelation 12:6 KJV
[6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Prophecy fulfilled

Protestants fleeing persecution and protected for a time by the “lamb like beast”

What other country is “lamb like”? Started under Christianity?
Then gives their power to the beast

America will give their power back to the pope.

Last day events will be rapid ones

I started looking at my genealogy in the late 1960's. My folks showed me an old graveyard in the middle of a cornfield that contained some of my early PA Dutch ancestors.
We were told in school about early arrivals to America, resulting as a consequence of religious persecution. But, we were not taught any details. The Thirty Years War 1618 to 1648 was just one religious conflict leading up to mass German migration to America. The Catholic Church led the slaughter of entire Protestant towns and cities. Nearly half the population of Germany was murdered.

What exactly is this flag called? I'm trying to find it so I can have one made. My ancestors are from the palatinate region. *The flag in your profile picture

[donnakuester]

The things they don’t teach us in school🙄. When I had my dna and my family tree done I was like, what? I have never heard of the Palantate of the Holy Roman Empire before nor the palantines. Even now it’s hard to find good books and articles on this.

[TeslaDanser]

Little bit of an untruth told by the English narrator; palatines were drawn to England because the Queen said she'd look after them. When they landed in england they soon realised her lies. Some were brought to Ireland as a cheap planter of sorts and a large sum went on to America

[kellymatson]

Has anyone heard of the German Valley?

[ProudAngloIrishScotWelshUlster]

Why did they come to an English colony?
