Gada de Guivry Posted 26 January , 2018 Share Posted 26 January , 2018 Hi all, In 1919, just after the great war, many towns and villages having suffered or been destroyed, cities volunteered to be "their godmothers". Concerning my village, Guivry (Aisne - France), it was "adopted" by the city of Glasgow. Do you think it's possible to find archives about this event?

mva Posted 26 January , 2018 Share Posted 26 January , 2018 (edited) Hello from the Somme, hello 'neighbour' Is there something in the archives départementales Aisne ? Here, Montdidier was 'adopted' too (Exeter), there is not much in the archives départementales 80 (but there is about other towns), we got in touch with an historical society in Exeter, they gave us some (not many) documents they found. Perhaps you can find historians in Glasgow who are interested. Do you have a 'Glasgow street' in your village ? You should !!! kind regards, martine Edited 26 January , 2018 by mva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peut-être que vous pouvez trouver des historiens à Glasgow qui sont intéressés. Avez-vous une «rue de Glasgow» dans votre village? Vous devriez !!! Cordialement, martine Bonjour voisine, Eh non, pas de rue de Glasgow dans notre village. Il faut dire que je n'ai découvert le parrainage qu'il y a peu de temps en "fouillant" sur internet. Je vais tenter la piste des sociétés d'histoire de Glasgow. A bientôt. Gada No Glasgow street in our village. It must be said that I discovered the sponsorship that there is little time by "digging" on the internet. I will try the track of the history societies of Glasgow.

Heid the Ba Posted 13 March , 2018 Share Posted 13 March , 2018 Apologies for the late post: the Mitchell Library in Glasgow holds the city archives. https://www.glasgowfamilyhistory.org.uk/DiscoverLearn/GettingStarted/Pages/Glasgow-City-Archives.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
