Glay’s famous people span 130 years: 3 births from 1814 to 1944

Pierre-Étienne Will (French university professor, historian, sinologist and professor) is the best known by our measure: 3 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Pierre-Frédéric Mettetal and René Bernard-Cothier.

3 people born in Glay have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, leaders: 2 of the 3. That is 67% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Pierre-Frédéric Mettetal, born in 1814. The youngest on the list was born in 1944.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Glay itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
