The Shiers, An Irish Palatine Family

An ongoing family history project compiled by Roger Shier, Ottawa, Canada. This project focuses on the descendents of Hans Adam Schrier/Shrier/Scheier/Shier who left the Palatinate region of Germany in 1709 eventually arriving in Limerick County, Ireland. Several descendents subsequently moved to New York State, United States of America and Ontario, Canada and then migrated to all areas of North America.

Work is continuing on Roger Shier's maternal lines including the Warrens, Lyndes and Woodruffs that settled in the Whitby-Oshawa area of the former Ontario County in the early 19th century.
