This website provides general information on Halychyna/Eastern Galicia, a region that is often misunderstood or ignored in North America. This site should be the starting point for anyone researching their ancestral roots in Western Ukraine/Eastern Galicia.  Many of the pages will be useful for Polish researchers of Western Galicia, as well. 

HalGal stands for Halychyna/Galicja.

Halychyna is Ukrainian, Galicja is Polish,
or as commonly referred to in English as Galicia.

  • Galicia, the western region of today's Ukraine.
