Dear friends and visitors of our websites
luxroots celebrates its 10th anniversary.
From September 16th to November 16th, 2014, we want to celebrate this anniversary with you, whether you are an associate or subscriber of our projects, a luxroots.club member or a registered user of our websites.
The luxroots project started in September 2004 and provides the systematic and standardized input of details of the records of the Civil and Parochial registers of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the border regions.
luxroots originated from the website georges.eicher.com that its founder Georges EICHER established in 1998. The shift to a less personal name luxroots.com facilitated family researchers joining this great border project.
The group now has about 50 associates who enter each day details of more than 500 records in the common online database.
Later, the website www.roots.lu, created in 2002, was integrated into the activities of the luxroots group. Apart from the family books and parish registers shown on this site, this group published the 1766 census from our region during the years 2005-2008. The database of the Luxembourgers, soldiers of France 1792-1815, was taken over by luxroots.
From autumn 2011, www.igenealogy.lu is offered to our registered visitors allowing them free publication of their genealogical research.
In December 2012, www.luxbooks.lu, our virtual Luxemburgensia market was developed to enable our registered people the purchase or sale of these books.
As of this year, we propose a database with details of records of notaries.
Today, our accounts are in balance, so that we were able to move all activities to the nonprofit association luxroots.com in June.
All our projects are carried out gradually. After ten years of working together, the luxroots group hosts one of the largest genealogical databases of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
luxroots.club asbl, the club of the group also founded in June, counts more than 600 members and thus becomes the main genealogical society of the Grand Duchy.
During the birthday celebrations, our group will participate with an information booth at various events in the Grand Duchy and abroad. During this period, several presntations on genealogy in general and our project in particular will be held by associates of the group.
We will provide free vouchers* from 300 to 1000 myluxroots points (from 3 to 10 euros) for certain events (see below) to any person registered on luxroots and receiving regular newsletter.
In addition to the normal 10% discount as a luxroots.club member, we will add a special discount of 10% on all our PDF documents (about 2,000 documents) during the birthday anniversary period.
All help proposed under our HELPDESK will remain free until November 16th whether requests for copy, transcription or translation of record or other.
