Ole!! Thank you so much for your very informative description of the Spanish area!!! Gracias! The "Rolls map" I found on the Internet has "Galacia" printed on it in the area of Galicia. We are aware of Galicia in Spain and their probably Celtic culture. Thank you most profoundly! Just wanted to make sure not to have "missed" something.

Aida, For the x'ed time...please note: The Roll map is INCORRECT regarding Galicia. Galicia is not where Roll has it located. The map has other errors, but have no time to send correction to him. There are many errors on the Internet. _______ Lavrentiy Krupniak aida kraus wrote: > > Ole!! > Thank you so much for your very informative description of the Spanish area!!! Gracias!
