Galicia Maps and Resources I bought this map in a bookstore in Kraków in 1997. From the research that I had been doing over the years, it seems a reasonably accurate representation of the distribution of Poles and Ukrainians at this time. This map comes from Brian Lenius' Genealogical Gazetteer of Galicia. The larger grids depicted in the map are detailed 1 to 200,000 scale maps that are available online through this University of Budapest link. The map for grid R (Buczacz district is the centre) on the Lenius map on this site is the one called Kolomija. This map shows the incoporation of Galicia into Poland after World War 1 and the 3 provinces (wojewódstwa) created in the former Eastern Galicia: Lwów (Lviv), Tarnopol (Ternopil) and Stanis³awów (Stanyslaviv, later Ivano Frankivsk). This map comes from the book: For Bread and a Better Future: Emigration from Poland to Canada, 1918-1939 by Anna Reczyñska. This particular map also shows the relatively large numbers of Poles and Ukrainians that continued to immigrate to Canada from the former Eastern Galicia. The finalization of the eastern borders of Poland after the Polish-Soviet War of 1920 resulted in over 3 milliion Ukrainians living in the new Polish Republic.Tarnopol Province and Buczacz Powiat Map, 1921-1939 Location of Galicia in Contemporary Poland and Ukraine is an excellent website that addresses the complexities of genealogical research for Poles and Ukrainians with roots in Eastern Galicia. Other Information HalGal is an excellent website that addresses the complexities of genealogical research for Poles and Ukrainians with roots in Eastern Galicia. |
