GENEALOGISTS, searching for First World War heroes on their family tree, are being invited to investigate a wealth of original documents held by Renfrewshire Council's Heritage Service at Paisley Central Library.
The invitation is part of the Renfrewshire Reflects initiative, which includes a series of events to commemorate the start of the First World War. The commemorations will span a four-year period from 2014 to 2018 and focus on the impact of the war and on marking the significant events of the conflict.
Councillor Jim Harte, convener of Renfrew-shire Council's Sport, Leisure and Culture Policy Board, said: "People want to know about their roots, their family history, who they are and where they come from. And the council's Heritage Service is always happy to help with these requests."
