Welcome to the Ohio Chapter of the Palatines to America
Helping German Americans Find Their Roots in Germanic Regions of Europe
The Ohio Chapter of Palatines To America is a regional German-American genealogical organization. It is part of The Palatines To America, a national genealogical society of persons researching German-speaking ancestry, with emphasis on European migration from the Germanic regions of Europe to North America (primarily the United States and Canada).
The Palatines To America German Genealogical Society was founded in 1975 with headquarters in Columbus, Ohio now at 611 East Weber Road which is also the site of the National Library. The National Library has a unique collection of German resources which rival any in the country.
