That's misleading, Galicia was an integral part of the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary, the emperor having the title of the King of Galicia. It was definitely not independent in the 19-20th centuries. “It later became part of the Austrian Empire, but emerged as an independent kingdom again in the early 20th century.”

If I recall my Irish hsitory correctly, the last group to enter Ireland prior to the Christian era was from the North of Spain, which I guess makes Franco a very distant cousin.

They came to Canada during a wave of immigration in the 1880's. My grandfather's generation was born in Canada and him and all his brothers have names of cities and towns in Galicia. When people ask my heritage I like to open with the surefire conversation starter: "It doesn't exist anymore." Good post.
