Das Kolonisationswerk Josefs II in Galizien (The Colonization Programs of Josef II (emperor of Austria) in Galicia, Austria) by Ludwig Schneider allows you to trace your ancestors from Galicia back to Germany. It lists 3,404 heads of household names of settlers. It gives much detail of the history, reasons for emigration, organization, recruitment, village descriptions and, most importantly, lists of German settlers in two surveys 1790s and 1820.
This book is arguably the best reference for emigration from Germany to the Galician province of Austria. However, it is written in old German script and can be hard to read. Google does provide a text capture using the scissors icon, but it it not perfect.
