Galicia is generally the eastern half of the former Austrian province of Galicia (Galizien). This eastern portion was predominately Jewish, while the western part was more Polish. During the Austrian period (1772-1918) it was known as East Galicia (Ost-Galizien, Skhidna Halychyna and Galicja Wschodnia). The Galicia region in Spain shares a similar name. The only connection may be that the decendants of Spanish Galicia renamed their new homeland in the Austria-region after they migrated out of Spain. One family line follows its migration route from Galicia, Spain to Europe from the 1490s. Sometimes, the name might be spelt as Galacia. Included on this page are collections of links that are relevant to tourism and genealogy in Galicia.
