I know of no Protestant ecclesial community that has, as a whole, reunited with the Catholic Church, but there are some Episcopal (i.e. Anglican) parishes that have come back into communion with the Catholic Church. You can read about them by going to the following website:

The Protestant Reformation occurred within Western culture alone, and so none of the ecclesial communities that descend from the Reformation schism have their origin in the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
