Tom wrote about the Palatines</span><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
<p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal">One of the most famous Palatine couples were Margaret and
Philip Embury.<br>
<br>
Margaret Switzer, the daughter of Johann Christopher Switzer one of the<br>
original emigrants from Assenheim, married Philip Embury and they both<br>
emigrated to the States c 1730/1740 where he is known as the 1st<br>
Methodist preacher in the USA. The chapel near Rathkeale, Co Limerick<br>
where he originally worshipped is visited annually by American<br>
Methodists.<br>
<br>
I knew nothing of the Palatine history until I visited Newcastle West<br>
looking for family rooots. All I had was my gt gt grandfather's name<br>
Gideon Switzer Reidy. Everything was revealed by a visit to the small<br>
but richly informative museum at Rathkeale and also by risking a phone<br>
call to Reidys listed in the phonebook - which worked and I was<br>
welcomed back into a family my gt gt grandfather had left in 1844!<br>
<br>
It also solved a puzzle that had long intrigued me - which was how a<br>
Book of British Folk Tales included one from Northern Ireland called<br>
"Ashpittel" which was of course a German version of Cinderella.
Once I<br>
learnt that Platines had settled in N.I. the mystery was solved!<br>
