Galicia Emigrant Categories

Question

Hi Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria Project members,

I am working on a family member, Mordechai, born in 1872 in Dębica / Dembitz, Galicia. For the birth location, I have Dębica, Bezirk Ropczyce, Galicia, Austria by using the place name suggestions dropdown. Dębica is the birthplace according to the family story. I have found a source that gives a birthplace as Sklobnyer. I have been unable to locate this as a place, via Google searches. Has anyone come across Sklobnyer?

I have placed Mordechai in Category:Migrants from Ropczyce (District) to Middlesex, creating the missing higher-level categories as required. I have seen https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Migration_Category_Structure that Austria is divided into 9 states. These appear to be the states of present-day Austria. I am not sure where the former Galicia fits in.

Can someone confirm if I have used and created the correct categories?

Thanks,

David

Answer 1

Not quite my area, however I recommend https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Kingdom_of_Galicia_and_Lodomeria%2C_Emigrants which is Level 3 (Administration Entity) category that sits under the Level 2 category of Austria-Hungary.

Like Prussia, I would not like see the Kingdom subdivided into smaller administration districts for emigration.

Steve is right, Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria is established as the admin entity level. Steve has added the correct category to the profile.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Migrants_from_Kingdom_of_Galicia_and_Lodomeria_to_Middlesex

Thanks Steve and Margaret. The profile looks great, that is exactly the category I needed. I can see that you also removed the categories I erroneously created.

You're welcome, the great benefit of our G2G forum. 

Answer 2

I have had a go at adding a migration category for Galicia (in Austria-Hungary Empire) to Middlesex. My attempt isn't quite right. I haven't got the connection to England correct. I'll keep working on this.

All fixed Steve, I cheat, I copy the CIB from one of the "Kingdom of Galicia etc to ......" and change the "to" country.

Thanks Margaret. I knew I was close, but not quite there.
