Hello

I'm happy to see the information on the list as my children's paternal
ancestors are from Galacia, Austria. I have been unable to find a map
showing Galacia.

What I do know from the family and confirmed in the 1901, 1906 and 1911
Canadian Census:

3 BUDYNSKI [many various spellings] brothers and their wives Immigrated
from Galacia, Austria in 1897 and 1901. They were Roman Catholic and
spoke Polish. Some of their children Immigrated to New York, U.S.A. in
1920.

I do not know what Parish or area they were from - so I'm wondering if
there is a site for a name search? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the information and www.halgal.com site. ~ Lyn

Hello

Galiciana is almost certainly referring to the region currently mainly
in the Ukraine situated on the border between Poland and austria. In the
1930s, however, it will have belonged to poland. This area is known as
Galizien. www.halgal.com is a brilliant website for researching Galizien
genealogy. Research into this area is relatively popular, since numerous
resources are available. Checking out "Pradziad" on the Polish archives
website might help you determine if records exist for your area.
