Galizien German Descendants
- GGD -
This website is an extension of the Galizien German Descendants Publication, and is the new home of the GGD website that was formerly found at http://feefhs.org/gal/GGD/FRG-GGD.HTML.
Beginning in 1774 the rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire issued Settlement Charters which invited 'foreign' settlers into its newly acquired province of Galicia ('Galizien' in German). German settlers attracted by offers of transportation and special status emigrated from Germany to Galicia. The 'Galizien German Descendants' publication is dedicated to family history research of these German settlers and their descendants. If anyone is interested in any of the articles from our publication or the entire publication, contact Betty Wray at her address below.
