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!

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.

Which associate is currently working on what ?
On

, 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.
