Dear subscribers, dear visitors of our websites, dear friends

With almost 800 members, luxroots.club is now the largest genealogical association of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
As our 2014-2015 year will end on September 30th, 2015, we wish to invite all luxroots.club members at the general meeting to be held October 23rd, 2015 at 8pm at the Centre Nicolas Braun in Hesperange.
Agenda:It may be assumed that almost 5 million people are available in the databases of our 800 members (with an average of 6,250 people). However, these databases are often not available on the Internet, so you can contact these members to exchange information via our transaction Contacts for Research.


By end of July, luxroots.com just passed the gap of a million people whose details were entered from birth or baptism certificates. luxroots has become in recent years, thanks to the diligent work of our associates, the number 1 in genealogy of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Apart from this one million people on luxroots.com, our subscribers can view some 350,000 additional people on our other sites roots.lu and igenealogy.lu. roots.lu with details of parish registers of Luxembourg, Diekirch, Ettelbruck, Mersch, Septfontaines, Kehlen, ... and on igenealogy.lu, we present 80 genealogies of our members who have sent us a GEDCOM file for this publication. If you want to publish your genealogy free of charge, send us a message by attaching your GEDCOM file (ANSI format) and we will publish it instantly.

One million people entered enables us to present some graphs regarding births entered in luxroots:

The quality of our information and the satisfaction of our subscribers and visitors are our priorities.
We are not infallible and we do errors when reading records or when writing their details in the database. To maintain the best quality, the luxroots associates need your help in correcting any mistakes or typos found in our published data. We would therefore kindly ask you to inform us of any inconsistencies found. Use this link marked Q for the specific document. By clicking on that Q link, your email program will open with the email address of the luxroots-associate who processed the information from that document. Add your comment with the requested corrections and send the message.
After analyzing the proposed correction, the associate will then confirm the possible correction.
We thank you in advance for your help in maintaining high quality of information on www.luxroots.com.
For any error found, we'll reward 15 myluxroots points.

A beautiful example of the effectiveness of the luxroots project
A wedding took place in Diekirch on May 26th, 1852 between Karl Franz SUTTOR, born on September 12th, 1825 in Ettelbruck and Susanns LAEIS, born April 16th, 1828 in Diekirch. The couple subsequently had 13 children of which the first two were born in Diekirch, then in Clausen, Luxembourg, Schuttrange, Fentange and Kayl. Note also that the profession was at the wedding stateless, subsequently officer at mortgages administration, railway employee, station chief, and finally innkeeper in Kayl. You see that a local or a family researcher has trouble finding all children of this couple. With the cross-border luxroots.com project, genealogical research is becoming easier to find one's family.

Our next meetings with the visitors of our websites
  • the weekend from October 19th to 20th, 2015
    • at the book festival at the castle of Vianden (even with free entry for a tour of the castle) from 10am to 6pm and
    • at the book market in Differdange (Aalt Stadthaus) from 10am to 5pm
    on Sunday, September 27th, 2015 from 10am to 5pm at the Kropemannsfest in Redange
 The monthly luxroots meeting, programmed for September 24th, is canceled because of the proximity to the genealogy days.


At these meetings, our associates are happy to present you the luxroots.com project and our other websites igenealogy.lu and roots.lu.
We present you our myluxroots applications for adding your recent family members in our database by connecting them to the ancestors already entered. This allows you to instantly create pedigree tables and descendant's lists.
Wherever possible, our partners help you at these meetings in your own research, or we invite you to contact us via our Helpdesk (luxroots.com/hd) to ask questions.

Looking for your ancestors to establish a pedigree chart without having to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars or euros? Then, nothing simpler, register with luxroots.com, take a subscription and login!
Our myluxroots transactions, and especially the transaction Add a child of a couple allow you to enter your recent family by connecting to the ancestors already entered by one of our associates! This done, we help you to complete your pedigree chart for ancestors born and married in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg after 1800. In addition, we will reward this collaboration with myluxroots points namely:
    60 points for adding a child to a couple
    50 points for uploading a picture
    30 points for adding a person
    15 points for adding a link to documents
    10 points for adding a text (marriage data, ...)
    5 points for adding death data
    3 points for adding studies, jobs, functions, addresses
On the record of the entered person, you find a button 'Pedigree Chart' which enables you to display this chart. Check also the last 30 uploaded pictures added by our subscribers!

A pedigree chart up to 9 generations can be established for a child born after 1999, until 8 generations for young people born after 1975, until 7 generations for people born after 1949, 6 generations for people born after 1923, otherwise until 4 generations. These people were usually entered by a subscriber using the myluxroots transactions. Check this with our demo videos. ▲

luxroots is the genealogical association in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg whose associates 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. Provided that 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 other available documents. ▲

Flag of LuxembourgThe 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.
The conditions to be met, the required documents, the procedure to be followed and the appeal procedures are identical to those foreseen in the above-mentioned case of re-acquisition.
One additional document is required, namely a certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice, Office in Charge of Luxembourg Nationality (Service de l?indigénat) testifying that the claimant had a grandparent of Luxembourg nationality on the date of 1 January 1900, of whom he or she is a descendant in a paternal or maternal line.
