Dear subscribers, dear visitors of our websites, dear friends Public interest before personal interest is the motto of the luxroots genealogy group whose more than 60 volunteers enter the details of births, baptisms, marriages and deaths records in the association's online database. Without a special authorization, the luxroots data are not available to feed databases, websites, genealogical work for third parties, which pass beyond the genealogical research of the family of the subscriber. The use of our data for commercial purposes (search for ancestors, heir research, ..) is not permitted without a special permission. Genealogy is a very nice hobby, but sometimes it becomes commercial. The board members of the luxroots associations as well as our luxroots associates are not working in genealogy to make money. We hope that the members of board of other genealogical associations in the region have the same approach. Before joining an association and before submitting your data to an association, first ask if the members of board do not use your data for personal business purposes. The luxroots association explores documents from the past to preserve them for the future. Join the great (jigsaw)puzzle of Genealogy in Luxembourg and their border regions by analyzing records of civil and parish registers and entering the details of these records in the luxroots database. A useful, informative and exciting hobby awaits you.
