Fifteen people met in Krakow to start on a PolishOrigins / Polish Genealogical Society of America Galicia Tour September 22 – October 3, 2019. Reflecting Galicia’s complex history, some ancestors identified as Polish, others as Ukrainian. The group included a mix of people at the start of their genealogy quest as well as others filling in some missing details. Below are short summaries of our 12 day trip experience which we share to encourage others to follow in our path.

We took a short ride to another section of Krakow to see the Ethnographic Museum which presented the everyday life style of the Polish people. Now, you may be thinking ?How many museums could we be interested in?? Each museum had a different presentation of homes, clothing, tools, occupations, etc. and was set up to keep you interested in each aspect.

Today we were off before 8 am and heading to Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains. We had to be packed because we were going to be staying in a new hotel.
On our way we visited Carpathian Troy, an archeological site dating back to 2000 BC. We started with a short movie and then our guide took us through the large site detailing everything we saw.

Galician Town reconstruction in Sanok.
My sisters and I met for breakfast and were joined by Zenon for our next day of adventures. We took off to see the Open Air Ethnographic Museum.

Zenon arranged for a guide who took us around the entire area and explained what we were seeing as well as answering all our endless questions.
