Helping me find my grandmother's old house in Saigon
Some of you know this already but I thought I'd post about it here and see if someone can help me out with my research. My grandmother who is part Vietnamese, was born in Saigon and lived here until she was 18. She went to high school in Dalat but the rest of the time, she lived in the Go Vap district of Saigon. I'd really like to find her old house, which I hear has now been turned into a day care center, but am having a hard time finding the new name of the street. Most streets had French names during the occupation but were then renamed in Vietnamese. Any clue where I could find the new name?
The street I'm looking for is Allée des Ecoles. I've done some research online and am asking my aunts and uncles. But if you come across a helpful website, let me know. We're leaving in a few days and I'd love to go there before we go. Thanks!
