The Irish Palatines by Dudley Levistone Cooney
With a great love of history, and in particular Methodist history, Rev. Dudley Cooney served the Adare Ballingrane Methodist Circuit for many years. As an author and reviewer of many books on various aspects of Methodism and as a committee member of the Irish Palatine Association it was inevitable that Dudley would get around to writing on the the subject of the Irish Palatines. When the German-Irish Circle of Friends asked if the IPA would prepare a short history of the Irish Palatines for publication, the moment of circumstance had arrived for Reverend Cooney.

Some German Origins of the Irish Palatines - by Henry Z Jones .
This book is a companion volume to Hank’s seminal book The Palatine Families of Ireland, 2nd edition published in 1990. In this new work, some of his recent discoveries about the definite, probable and possible German origins of some of the families are set forth, documented, and discussed. So often families like the Emburys, Dulmages, Bovenizers and Teskeys who were neighbours in Germany remained neighbours on The Emerald Isle after their arrival – reinforcing the old genealogical adage “They Came Together—They Stayed Together!”

All Good Reason by Barbara Bingham
The true story of Barbara Heck is recreated using meticulous use of historical fact and inherited details to bring history alive for every reader. Written in the present tense, she emerges as a stoic, forthright and mindful woman who has a claim to fame in the British colonies of America in the 1760s and who encapsulates the lives of women amongst the loyal supporters of their King of Great Britain and Ireland.
Her story blends immigration experiences with dominant Palatinate family heritage that calls for her community’s loyalty in their host countries with dire consequences.  She keeps their morale under-girded with revitalized identity in New York by introducing Methodism to America. She holds respect and standing in a male world with a sense of reality yet she burns with frustration. A stoic personality keeps her marriage vows intact when under attack from attraction and hurtful judgment. When historically significant scenarios hurt her fellow “Irish Palatines”, she nearly buckles under the strain. Canada becomes the last place of refuge where loyalty has a result. Hindsight and accountability are quantified; overall, did the four countries of heritage and refuge deceitfully influence their lives?

Dorothy Teskey - Stories from My Life by Dorothy Teskey.
This book is a collection of stories written in reply to Dorothy’s granddaughters questions over a period of time. Her upbringing would be typical of what a Palatine would experience for those years. As well as being of Palatine stock through her Miller and other Palatine family backgrounds, Dorothy Walsh married Ronald Teskey of Castlematrix in 1956. She was part of the Rathkeale Palatine Community from that time on for many years. Dorothy has a very optimistic outlook and this comes through very much in the stories of trials and tribulations of what life has thrown at her. The profits from this book are in aid of Limerick Suicide Watch.

Adare: The Augustinian Friary & St. Nicholas Church by Barbara Bingham.
Commemorating the 700th anniversary of the Augustinian Friary in Adare, Co. Limerick, this book richly illustrates with photographs and historical detail
the friary’s foundation, the monastic life led there and the role it played in the local community. It describes the architecture of the friary buildings, and recounts their more recent history and the renewed sense of purpose they now embody. The Augustinian Friary is one of three medieval religious houses in the town of Adare and is the only one that survives largely unspoilt and unscathed. Many Palatines settled in Adare, a secondary colony and worshipped in St. Nicholas Church. Their children attended the adjacent school which is housed in the complex.

Pfalzer in Irland Pfalzer in Irland - by Rudiger Renzing.
This book (published in German) explores the fact that not all of the Palatines who left Germany in 1709 reached their destination of North America. The English settled well over 3,000 German-speaking emigrants, mostly from the Palatinate region of Germany, in county Limerick in Ireland.
In this fundamental work, which is based on archival sources in Germany, England and Ireland, Renzing has dealt extensively with the history of the Irish Palatines and examined both the economic and social development of the Palatine colonies in Ireland from their foundation and onwards into the 19th century.
