Galicia. Galicia is the name given to the portion of Poland which was occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Empire between 1772-1918. The Eastern portion ceded to the Ukraine after World War II. The region is known as:

  • Galicia in English
  • Galizien in Deutsch (German)
  • Galicja in Polski (Polish)
  • Галичина [Halychyna] in Українська [Ukrajins'ka] (Ukrainian)
  • Галиция [Galiciya] in Русский [Russki] (Russian)

  • Austrian Poland in some Immigration Passenger Lists

The full name of the province was "Galizien und Lodomerien" in German, or "Galicia et Lodomeria" in the Latinized form.

This region should not be confused with Galicia in the northwestern corner of Spain (Galizien, Galicia, Galice, Galizia, Galicja, Galicio). This Galicia is one of Spain's 17 Autonomous Communities.

You may contribute to future Family Tree DNA tests via three payment methods.


Participation. If you are interested in participating, you can:

  • sponsor a test for a Gottesman who has limited income
  • help spread the word and recruit new participants
  • provide Gottesman pedigree information for your lineage
  • sponsor a test for a Gottesman who is unable or unwilling to pay (but who is necessary to validate a family line)
