I did some surfing in the internet right now and I found something that might be interesting to you, too. I don't know if you know those pages yet.

Have a look at the
Rheinland-Pfalz-Page:
www2.genealogy.net/gene/reg/RHE-PFA/rhein-p.html.
You can find here Genealogical Literature, Online-Archives and Libraries, Databases, a worldwide "Roots Surname List", historical maps online, and information about emigrants sorted by country they went to; Genealogical Associations and Societies, there is also a link to HESSEN (!), and a special link "The Palatines to America specializes in emigration from the Palatinate to the USA by Ken McCrea, USA": http://genealogy.org/~palam

A historical map of Palatinate you can find at:
http://www.schleswig-online.de/laninger/Pfalz1818.htm
By the way,if you see Mainz on the right side have a look a little bit more to the left. There you find Bingen. On the opposite side of Bingen there is Geisenheim - my hometown.
