You may be interested in the series of German research articles found on this link, however those pertaining specifically to 18th century German emigration research are linked here:

• 18th Century German Emigration Research
• Finding Origins of 18th Century Emigration from Southern Germany
• Anatomy of the German Empire 1648-1918
• Before the Parish Registers Start:
  German Genealogical Sources for the 16th & 17th Centuries
• Identifying Emigrants and Immigrants

If you are aware of other articles or aids for research or historical background to link to this site, please let me know (kmeyerink@progenealogists.com). I am hoping to add an article I was translating by Roggenbauer about the recruiting of Germans in the 1700s for the American colonies which includes transcripts of many documents found in the Massachusetts Archives (Boston) and elsewhere.

Following are some other links that might be of interest to Palatine Germans (check out their various pages of links which give a lot more interesting sites):
