Gesher Galiciais a non-profit organization that promotes and conducts Jewish genealogical research for Galicia, a province of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is today part of eastern Poland and southwestern Ukraine.

Its major research initiative – the Galician Archival Records Project –is acquiring and indexing a variety of metrical, property, school, voter, tax and magnate records for Galicia. Although the organization’s primary focus is researching Jewish roots in Galicia, the diverse community records in its database contain names that span all the ethnic and religious groups that once lived in the region.

Gesher Galicia also collects digital maps, including detailed cadastral maps.

Database available in English.
