Glasgow and West of Scotland FHS Journal explores Glaswegian immigrants

A quick shout out to editor Karen Hunter and her team for the latest Glasgow and West of Scotland Family History Society Journal, with this edition (no. 128) focussing on the various groups of immigrants who have made their way to Glasgow over the years. 

There's a superb article on the "GlaswegAsian Gems" by Dr Saqib Razzaq, something I particularly enjoyed having previously lived near to the gurdwara in Anderson and the mosque near Tradeston, with other articles looking at Holocaust refugees, Russian immigrants, Canadian war brides, and much more.

Copies of the journal are available as a benefit of membership of the society - details at www.gwsfhs.org.uk.

And don't forget that there are many family history societies across Scotland, with details for most available at https://safhs.org.uk, the website of the Scottish Association of Family History Societies.
