Talk:Galindians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All my edits are based on the latest archeological, craniological, ethnographical, genetic, linquistic, etc. data and, of course, on interpretations of both the mentioned data and written historical sources by Lithuanian, Russian, Latvian and Polish researchers. Gugutis 11:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

For my proposition that western galindians settled further west than any other ..., take a look at the various historical and archeological maps. Gugutis 14:10, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


I still see that you did not understand the main issue – cite you sources, for example: Galindians should be de divided into two groups – Western and eastern [1] and similar . References are very useful for other contributors. Next, nobody is writing here different languages names in the division leads. M.K. 14:19, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

  1. ^ Write here your academic sources which implies such division
  • Ye. Thanks for advice. However, in this respect the only matter is our's common sense. Gugutis 08:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Moved information here, because of removal by Gugutis

Part of the Galindians had allied with the Saxons in their struggle against Charlemagne's christianisation take-over-attempts and went to battle with the Saxons to western Europe, where they are believed to be referenced to in the Song of Roland. Thus the name Galindo became a family name of a number of Spanish and through them Mexican and California people and still is a family name in Germany as well. Labbas 19 October 2006

This information – excepting, maybe, a hint about the Galindian-originated family name in Germany – is nobody else than tall stories for amateurs. Gugutis 12:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I just pulled out this paragraph:

Some Galindians are known to have joined Germanic groups as early as the Visigoths going westwards to Spain and later Saxons against Charlemagne. Thus the family name Galindo, still found in Germany today, has become very numerous in Spain and thus in America as well.

Thoroughly unreferenced. MapMaster 03:14, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
