Dear subscribers, dear visitors of our websites, dear friends
Our associate
Joseph SCHLOESSER
died November 29th, 2017.
After his research on his families, he joined the genealogy project luxroots.com and worked on the baptisms of the following parishes: Bissen, Boulaide, Eschdorf, Feulen, Goesdorf, Grosbous, Heiderscheid, Mersch, Niederwiltz, Oberwampach, Pintsch, Surré and Vianden.
Currently, he worked on the marriages of the parish of Niederwiltz.
We join the family in their mourning and express our deepest sympathy to his wife.
Joseph, thank you for your commitment to our project that will keep a memory of you forever.

For your searches, you do not need to have a special genealogy program, neither free nor paid.
Through the
myluxroots transactions
, more than 400 subscribers and associates have already entered their recent family members to luxroots linking them to the ancestors already entered earlier by our volunteers. If you add 7 family members (1924-2017) in our database, it is possible
to get a pedigree chart with 1,000 ancestors (10 generations),
and this in 10 minutes, not to mention the ability to create lists of descendants of these ancestors instantly. In Luxembourg, you will find nothing comparable to our project and for this reason, please help us to assemble the large Grand Duchy of Luxembourg genealogy puzzle and the neighboring regions. Check the pedigree charts of
Christiane
,
Hortense
,
Paulette
and
Serge
. Do the same, we will support you!

Let us build together the genealogy tree of Luxembourg! luxroots is the genealogical association in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
whose volunteers do not work on personal databases, but enter data online directly to the non-profit luxroots-database.
That's why working together makes us so powerful. If you are able to analyze records of civil registers or even of parish registers, and you want to be part of a dynamic team of volunteers as part of the cross-border and non-profit project,
please contact us!
You do not need to go to townships or to archives. luxroots makes available to its associates the pictures of the records of a certain township/parish
free of charge
which they plan to analyze and enter the details in the luxroots-database.
Do not hesitate to participate in this great puzzle of genealogy
of Luxembourg by analyzing and capturing the details of the records of your preferred township or parish. Check our inventory of records of townships/parishes
to be analyzed soon
or

A
new law on Luxembourg nationality
entered into force on 1 January 2009.
B. RE-ACQUISITION OF LUXEMBOURG NATIONALITY
2. Case of a person with a grandparent who had Luxembourg nationality by origin (article 29)
The law of 23 October 2008 on Luxembourg nationality has introduced a new case of re-acquisition, the application of which is limited in time.
A person can re-acquire Luxembourg nationality provided:
- he or she has a male or female ancestor, who possessed Luxembourg nationality on the date of 1 January 1900; and
- he or she is the descendant in a paternal or maternal line of said grandparent.
The interested party can trace back each generation in the paternal or maternal line to establish whether he or she is the descendant of a Luxembourg grandparent on the date of 1 January 1900.
The declaration of re-acquisition must be made
before a civil registrar by 31 December 2018 at the latest.
