Hello Jo, The Roll map has "Galacia", but there is no "Galacia," nor is Galicia spelled "Galacia" and "Galacia" is not where Galicia was located. Galicia is a former territory whose areal extent now lies in the nation-states of Poland and Ukraine - about 3/5 of Galicia is in west-central Ukraine (the L'viv, Ternopil, and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts of Ukraine) and 2/5ths is in southeastern Poland. The Roll map has no indication that there were German settlements in that area. Halychyna (in Ukrainian) (Galicja in Polish), was called Galizien by the Austrians who invited Germans to colonize Galicia in the late 1700s. A group called Galizien German Descendants has excellent maps which show the location of former German colonies in Galicia. Germans comprised about 2.5 percent of the population of Galicia. Jews comprised about 10 percent of the Galician population: http://www.halgal.com/1907popbyrel.html Jews resided in Galicia long before Germans were invited to colonize in the 1700s. Jews were invited in by former Polish landowners, etc. during the 14-17th C. _______ Lavrentiy Krupniak Jo Davis wrote: > > What's missing or wrong with this 1700 - 1800 German-Russian Settlement map, > Lavrentiy? > << http://www.rollintl.com/roll/grsettle.htm >> > > Would you, then, know anything about 'Jewish'-German local settlers in this > time frame?
