The newsletter contains information and educational articles useful to genealogical research in Galicia (Galicien in German). Many people descend from the German-speaking settlers of the Austro-Hungarian province of Galizia. Beginning in 1774, the rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire issued Settlement Charters which invited 'foreign' settlers into its newly acquired province of Galicien. German settlers, attracted by offers of transportation and special status, emigrated from Germany to Galicia. The turbulent politics of this region in the 1700s-1900s resulted in this territory changing countries several times. Galicia is in the present-day Ukraine and Poland. The Galizien German Descendants 1939 Resettlement Records were extracted from documents stored at the Berlin Document Center which were captured by the US government at the end of World War II. These records were created by ethnic Germans applying to resettle in German-controlled areas in 1939, from former German areas of Bulgaria, France, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, the Ukraine, and Yugoslavia. At that time Russia and Germany had divided Poland roughly along the Warthe River as part of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Many ethnic Germans chose to not live in the Russia-controlled territories or were forced to immigrate back into Germany. This publication is dedicated to family history and genealogical research of these settlers, their descendants, the original families in Germany, their emigration from Germany to Galicia, the families in Galicia, immigration to America, and their resettlement in Germany.
