These diverse community resources cover all the ethnic/religious groups from these towns: Jews, Poles, Ukrainians, Ruthenians, Germans, Catholics and Greek Catholic. Gesher Galicia?s digital ?Cadastral Map Room? has the largest online collection of property maps from the Austrian Empire. These high-resolution maps often show the names of the landowners and shop-owners written onto plots, fields and in market square. Learn about our Galician Archival Records Project and how to use the AGD, in conjunction with the Cadastral Map Room and the GG records inventory, to find your ancestors and link the indexes and maps to the original source documents from overseas archives. There will be a brief overview on the best approach to Galician research presenting examples of unusual 18th ? 20th century records which can expand your genealogical research and enhance your knowledge about the lives of your ancestors.
