A large group of Germanic people left the Palatinate in 1708-1710 and migrated throughout the British Empire. The largest group arrived in New York in 1710. This group focuses on their descendants.

Hi, my family also came on a 1710 ship. Last name was Becker. That name was changed once they got here. They settled in the Hudson Valley in New York. Any info out there on them? There are several of the original old stone houses still here. My father moved out of one when he was 16 years old.
Researching Shanabarger (Schoenberger), Beckner, Hoffman, Stalnaker, Stemple, Pifer (Pfeiffer). All settled in VA now WV.
I am descended from at least 27 families of the 1710 Palatine migration, including Bauch, Berg, Dopff, Eckhard, Emichen/Empie, Faeg, Finck, Fuchs, Herner/Hoerner, Homburger, Haber/Hawver, Kast, Keyser, Kuhlmer, Kuhn, Krembs/Grembs, Landgraff, Loscher/Lasher, Mowers (could be Moor, Mohr, or Maurers, not sure yet), Rautenbausch/Rau, Richter, Schneider, Stahl, Schnell/Snell, Schultheiss, Wies, Winninger/Winegar. One went to Tulpehocken, a few stayed near Livingtone Manor, some moved on to Schoharie, and the rest settled Stone Arabia. The descendants of those that stayed in New York eventually migrated to Wisconsin in the early 1840s, settling in the southeastern corner of the state: Kenosha and Racine Counties, and also Rock and Walworth Counties.
E-Mail me at andrewkolstee@gmail.com if you descend from Weiser, Garlock/Gerlach, Strohl, Bellinger, Windecker, and/or related families such as Klock.
I am researching Christopher (Christoffell) Turnpaugh (Dornbach) (abt 1735 - abt 21 Aug 1805) who resided in the area surrounding York, PA before acquiring land in Baltimore County, MD (1762). He is my 4xgreat grandfather.
