There may have been towns in Galicia where Jews farmed and owned land, but =
classically Jews were not allowed to own land either in the Polish-Lithuani=
an Rzeczpospolita (the entire 'Pale' later within the Russian Empire) or fo=
r many years in the Austrian Empire proper, which after the last partition =
of Poland came to include the 'Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria'. Within th=
e Kingdom of Hungary and (outside what was ever to become the Austro-Hungar=
ian Empire) the Romanian kingdoms, including Moldavia (both always-Romanian=
 'Regat' Moldavia and the often Russian-ruled Bessarabia that is now indepe=
ndent Moldova), Jews were allowed to own land. Real rustic Jews of Yiddish-=
speaking, Galician-like Ashkenazi heritage were characteristic of Sub/Trans=
carpathian Ruthenia - once 3-4 far north-eastern counties of Hungary, betwe=
en the Wars the easternmost part of the 1st Czechoslovak Republic, today a =
poor, remote and beautiful part of Ukraine - and of Romanian Moldavia and B=
essarabia. Real peasant folkways among these people very much encompassed K=
lezmer music, shared with both the Ruthenian (west Ukrainian) peasantry and=
 with the Rroma gypsies, and the Badchan wedding jesters from which a broad=
er Yiddish theatre emerged, especially around Iasi/Jassy, capital of Romani=
an Moldavia.

Hello Bruce,

I think Kolomiya was one such town in Galicia. I believe my maternal
grandfather and grandmother, Markus Spiegel and Pessie Stadler Spiegel,
grew up in / around Kolomiya.
