GaliciaGL: see Galizien.

GalizienGL: aka Galicia, starting in 1772 was the northernmost province of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, stretching from the Wisla river in the E to beyond present-day L’vov in the W.  Today the eastern part is in the Ukraine, and the western part is in Poland.  The capital was Lemberg, now known as L’vov, Ukraine.

GalkaVV:  aka Meierhoefer and Ust-Kulalinka, was a German Lutheran village on the western side of the Volga founded in 1764. The  FSL is published in Pleve, Einwanderung …, vol.II, pp. 19-36.  According to this, the first settlers were from the following places with the family names shown here in parens. If a name is in italics it comes from the Kuhlberg lists.  If a family name occurs more than once among the first settlers, given names in {} brackets follow the family name.  The number after a name is its FSL household number.  It is probably related to the fact that this was one of the first colonies settled, that the places in the FSL are nearly useless: many countries are missing; most countries listed never contained the localities they are listed with.  I have tried to salvage at least a little useful information.
