The quality of our information and the satisfaction of our subscribers and visitors are our priorities.


luxroots is a group of family researchers who have come together to build the family tree of Luxembourg and its neighboring regions benefiting from the technological developments of the past 30 years. Apart from the computer and the internet, luxroots would not have been possible without the digital camera and the Internet flat rate for the work of their associates and subscribers on their remote server. Only working together makes it possible to achieve this goal.
Therefore, join our group as an associate or subscriber and help us move forward faster in our goals. Nothing prevents you from keeping your personal research and continuing at your convenience. We reward your commitment by increasing your myluxroots points for your added information.
We are looking for people entering births in the cantons of Capellen, Grevenmacher, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg and Remich as well as for the Belgian and German border regions.
In addition, some 200,000 baptisms are waiting to be deciphered to enter details of these records. If you know Latin, we need you! Contact us!

luxroots counts among the registered visitors of its websites approximately 1,300 family researchers living in Luxembourg. More than 350 of these visitors are supporting the projects of the group with their work or through a subscription thus making it the largest genealogical group in Luxembourg.

At the invitation of the National Archives, luxroots was able to do a presentation at the 4th day of Luxembourgish archivists, genealogy in Luxembourg and the luxroots project. During the month of March 2014, our group has participated in exhibitions in Niederanven (books market), Ettelbruck (Sammlermaart) and Mertzig (Local History Day) to present our project to visitors. Our information meeting at Local History Day in Mertzig (22 people) and in Ansembourg (organized by the Mierscher Lieshaus with 48 people attended) was a very big success.

On www.igenealogy.lu, we added the file of Roland WEIER (with 77 people of the WEIER family). This database now holds 73 family genealogies with a total of 161,000 persons.

Acts of notaries - our new project
Following an analysis and indexing of notary acts by our subscriber Marianne EHMANN, we made a program to enable our subscribers to use this new database. The search can be performed based on the name of the notary, by locality name or family name of the involved people and entering at least the desired decade. The transaction then returns a list of documents relating to these filters and proposes, where available, a link URL image to the notary folder on the FamilySearch.org website. The notary's deed in question will appear after entering the number indicated in the above-mentioned link in the appropriate box.
This database now contains more than 4,000 acts of the follwing notaries: Theodore HUBERTY, Beckerich 1670-1792, Christian BRIMMEYER, Greisch 1717-1786, Nicolas KNAUS, Bigonville 1756-1757, Wiltz 1770-1771, Clervaux 1771-1773, Joseph Collignon, Grevenmacher 1778-1780.
For this project, we are looking for further associates to advance in this interesting and useful project. Contact us!

The quality of our information and the satisfaction of our subscribers and visitors are our priorities.. Therefore, we invite you to send us any inconsistency found by clicking the Q link on sheets for each act entered. For any error found, we'll reward 15 myluxroots points.

Contact other luxroots users in order to work together on a common family name. More than 2,000 luxroots users have already given their consent.

Census 1766 On our website roots.lu, we propose the package of documents R1766 at a reduced price of Euro 31.50 (instead of Euro 41.50). This package of documents to be downloaded includes over 1,600 pages with the 1766 census population of over 900 villages in the deaneries of Bastogne, Mersch, Ouffet and Stavelot. The documents contain the first and lastnames of some 100,000 people, indicating the occupation of the head of household. Take a look at a few pages of one of these documents. Place your order with this link.
Our subscribers will find on each luxroots card a link R1766 (in the yellow menu) that allows you to view the census for the birthplace shown on this record (when this birthplace was in 1766 part of one of the former deaneries of Bastogne, Mersch, Ouffet or Stavelot,)

The National Archives in Luxembourg are closed until autumn, but the visitors can continue their research in temporary offices in Bertrange.
