So I looked for more specific information about Eastern European Galicia. The bulk of it was part from what is now southern Poland and another part from what is now Ukraine. My grandfather always struggled with whether he was from Poland or Romania (the other three grandparents uniformly claimed Poland)and the internet shows all four as having come from Galicia. I cannot figure out how Romania came into the mix, but it does border Ukraine, so maybe there were some territorial changes between the wars that caused his identification of Romania as one possible country. He was, by the way, completely literate and had been training, before his immigration to be a rabbi (although, when I knew him, he was cheerfully unobservant, so I don't know what happened there) and could read a map.

"The Ancient Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria", the name tacked on to the Austrian Habsburg's portion of the various partitions of the old Kingdom of Poland. Lvov (Lemberg) for a while was the 4th largest city in the A-H empire. It was an 'erblande' -- meaning (more or less) that the Habsburgs ruled it directly, rather than some of the more indirect methods, notably Hungary or through estates, etc etc, in the crazy patchwork.
The population was more heavily Jewish than other divisions of the empire, and the status as erblande led to (relatively) more civil treatment of the Jewish population. cf: one of the more famous people to have been born in The Ancient Kingdom of G & L was the writer Joseph Roth. He maintained a loyalty to the House of Habsburg long after it ceased to rule A-H.
An excellent chapter in Norman Davies' thoroughly excellent Vanished Kingdoms covers The A K of G & L very well.

Perhaps, the purge of the politburo is finally upon us.

Besides not being able to get to comments in a thread, now the site loads (occasionally) and when it does load, the banner at the top of the page is blank.

Am I just seeing a good stretch or did somebody fix something?
I just wanted to say that I appreciate the work that people put in to keep this message board up and running.
I have a lot of good memories associated with this place, and I'm always thankful to be able to go back with a simple search.
Thank you Politburo (and associates known and unknown)

Galician Jews contributed significantly to the expansion of Jews in Vienna and the cultural ferment in that city in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as newer generations (generally) shed the orthodox practices of their elders.
This is a long article on the subject (I've only read the first few pages) that probably tells you all that (and more than) you want to know about the subject: http://www.jgaliciabukovina.net/sit...icia Under Austrian-Polish Rule 1867-1918.pdf
An interesting and diverse list of Jews born in Galicia or identifying as Galitzianer:
including Sigmund Freud, Barbara Streisand, Billy Wilder, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Eliot Spitzer, Ludwig von Mises, Mel Brooks, Arthur Murray, Lee Strasberg, Helena Rubenstein, Emmanuel Feuerman, Emmanuel Ax, Martin Buber, Nina Hartley, Henry Roth, Joseph Roth, etc.

My mom is largely from Galician Jewish stock.
My grandfather’s mother was from Lemberg/Lvov/Lviv but emigrated to Budapest as a child. Late 19th Cent. She survived the war and escaped with my grandparents and mom to the US (through Vienna) in 1956.
My grandmother’s grandparents were also likely from Galicia (though just known as Poland to us now-we don’t know what town) before emigrating to Budapest in the mid-to-late 19th Century.
