[or-roots] Palatines

[Leslie Chapman]

The term Palatinate appears in the history of my Tack family quite often and I never really had a clue as to the origin. A discussion of that on this page;
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ote/palalist.htm
includes your "boiler plate' comment with out any amplification to speak of. There are a lot of ships that seemed to bring immigrants associated with the above cold snap and I suppose my Tacks are on one of them, but I don't see any search opportunity except through Ancestry.com so will give that a miss. Anyway I probably have the name of the ship somewhere in my mountain of information that I keep ignoring while searching for more.

Does anyone know the actual origins of this almost seemingly "boiler plate" quote  that appears all over the internet, occasionally ascribed to the obsolete website http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3955/palatine.htm and never listed with an actual Source?

   " The winter of 1708-1709 was very long and cold in the Rhineland. It was a very bleak period ... "

How's that for a change of Subject?
