Description: This book meticulously documents the arrival of Palatine and Swiss immigrants to Pennsylvania between 1732 and 1738. Through detailed ship manifests, the author painstakingly records the names, ages, and family connections of these individuals, offering a glimpse into their origins and the arduous journey they undertook in search of new beginnings. Set against the backdrop of the 18th century, a period marked by religious persecution and economic hardship in Europe, this work illuminates the motivations and challenges faced by those who sought refuge and opportunity in the American colonies. The sheer volume of names and personal details underscores the magnitude of this migration, while the inclusion of occasional notes about illness, death, and even a "dumb" individual, humanizes the experience and hints at the hardships endured. By meticulously preserving these individual stories, the author reveals the collective tapestry of Palatine and Swiss immigration to Pennsylvania, offering invaluable insights into the lives of those who helped shape the early American landscape. Ultimately, this book serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost and enduring spirit that drive individuals and families to uproot themselves in pursuit of a better future.
