Nice! Good blood flows in your veins.:)
Galicia has, unfortunately, been a land of emigrants for too many years. Too many people had to go abroad to seek a chance for a better life in the two past centuries, specially Germany and Switzerland in Europe, and Cuba and Argentina in South America. Buenos Aires is in fact called here the fifth Galician province.
Thank you. I hope to make it to Galicia sooner than later. My father keeps telling me that once he is granted his citizenship status that I will be able to apply as well. We still have some family there.
