His Palatine interest and generosity made possible this publication, 1953. 11 "foreword In recent years efforts have been made to set forth the Palatine immigrations into New York during the years 1708, 1710 and 1722. Some of these efforts made no pretense at any research or documentation. The Pennsylvanian historians have done much better than we in New York State. To Lou D. MacWethy and Colonel Boyd Ehle we must give the credit of initiating interest and research which others have continued. They pointed the way and led in the pursuit of facts. But it was presented in a somewhat fragmentary form. The Palatine Society a few years ago authorized a committee to make research and prepare for publication an account as com¬ plete and whole as possible. This committee consisted of Paul B. Mattice, Editor-in-Chief; Mrs. Millicent W. Veeder, Clifford M. Young, the Rev. Herman F. Vesper, N. Berton Alter, Charles L. Ryder, the Rev. Walter Krumwiede, S.T.D., and George W. Bagley. This volume is the result of their work. It is well done. It is comprehensive. We hope that it will meet the need in our local schools in teaching New York State history. We know it will be of interest to thousands of Palatine descendants scattered all over the United States and Canada who have been looking for source material concerning their ancestry.
