I was born at 25 Kelvinside Avenue in Maryhill 1943 . My mother is Cynthia and my father was Jimmy Neil singer/comedian (The cheeky Scot) I left Scotland in 1963 and eventually reached New Zealand where I now reside. I'm looking for my cousin John whos notice I accidently discovered in this site .I believe he is in the USA possibly Detroit. also Eddie Scanlan (in the US as well?) In fact I'd love to hear from anybody who may know me. I'm sure I have still got some family in Glasgow and the UK but have lost all contact with them.

I was born in Glasgow in 1942 lived in Mcaslin St for the first 10 years moved to Pollock went to Crookston Castle moved to Easterhouse and have lived in England for 27 years go home as often as I can, my heart will always be in Scotland and I will always be a Glasweigian and proud of it .

I aged 50, three two daughters, 4 grandchildren. Parents divorced in 1959 and I went to Oz with my mother. I met my father again in Scotland in 1990 and he introduced me to his new family. He has two daughters from that Union. I was so over the moon to hear from them all, my sister and her family even came to stay for a while in Australia. However, when they returned to Scotland, I have lost all contact with them. To be frank I think they may not want to keep in touch. I would dearly love to be able to write, perhaps sending photos of my wonderful grandchildren. My heart will tell you that you can take the heart out of Scotland but you can't take Scotland out of the heart! When I first returned as an adult, my heart groaned within me, the tears rolled and I said nothing to others in the car. For, only a Scot could begin to understand. Myself, mmmm....very happily married, still work full time for the Japanese Government, love my garden, love Australia and would love to resume contact with my Glasgow family.

Im 56 years of age have been in Germany since 1971 so as you can gess Glasgow has changen a LOT since then. We go home when we can as it does not mater how long you're away you're still a Glaswiegen that will never change.

I was born in 1962. My family and I lived at the corner of Renfield and Sauchiehall Street. I attended Milton Street School. We left for America in 1971. We were back again in 1976 but haven't been back since. There was nothing left of the old neighborhood...it had been demolished.

I am a 31 year old male and am totally proud of where I come from (Glasgow) I currently live outside Glasgow (helping a family member settle) and would like very much to return - all I know and love remains in Glasgow - the patter, my kids, the people the places, the clyde everything one man needs to love life. Although sometimes it can be daunting in Glasgow there are always better days and always a better class of people (including the wee jake who mumbles words of jumble)- in other words - I love Glasgow - I belong there. I am always looking for ways to better myself, I am an ex-smoker, I am a class act to myself though I do not love myself ok! I believe there is a God and in equality, I have a good sense of humour and oh well I live for tomorrow!
