Guys her Galician side is not Galicia Poland/Ukraine it’s Galicia, Spain… the reason for the similarities in names is because they were both colonized by the Celts ages ago

i see in her more Galician appearance (from NW Spain) than eastern european, but she is too tanned to be a northern spanish woman…

I have to disagree with you there, yes she does look like her Galician side as well because she has a more western European look to her, but she could definitely pass in Slavic countries regardless of not having fully Eastern European features. Compare here to these Slavic girls:

yes, they can have another heritage
see this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta – read about Polish szlachta, many people in Galicia have ‘blue blood’, and this is very possible that she came from Szlachta because many went to the South America before war like owners of my city, the Tarnowscy family live in South America
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorals – read about Polish górals, they have very characteristic surnames
