My Families Of The Past (Genealogy )
Loading...
Uploaded by weesue on Aug 22, 2007
The streets where my ancestors were born, lived, married and died in Glasgow Bridgeton Calton area. From around 1841. Springboig, Shettleston and The Gorbals. I've researched my Family tree on both sides of my family and put together this compilation of old Glasgow Streets with images from Virtual Mitchell and the Glasgow Story web sites. Casey Gilliland Conly Cummiskey Holmes. Song By Eddi Reader "Ae Fond Kiss".
This is the Gilliland/Holmes version. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1699...

Nice video and easy to watch, I think part of the magic of this vid is that it could represent many Glasgow families. Thanks for posting.

@jimbaxter67 Hi, I don't know a Tony Cummiskey but I'm sure through our family tree I would find a link... I have came across his name before...

I thought I saw masel in the waiting room at the Royal.I went in at 10 and was seen at 65. It has hardly changed in there.
Good wee film. I have many of the pics you used ,and recognise many bits of the streets where the ghosts of my family lived and died,from 1800 to 1960s
