Dear subscribers, dear visitors of our websites, dear friends

On June 3rd, 2016, the committees of our associations met to confirm the composition of the committes until the next ordinary general meetings, to made a flashback of past activities, and to decide for some future actions. The report of the luxroots.club asbl is available to its members on this page, and members and associates of luxroots.com asbl can check their report on this page.

The committee of the association decided a tour to Avioth-Orval-Neufchâteau. A first invitation was sent to the luxroots.club members on June 10th. Apart from a small contribution, the bus fees and guided tours are taken over by the club. Registration for the 10 remaining places can be made via this form.

Through the myluxroots transactions, more than 150 subscribers and associates have already entered their recent family members to luxroots linking them to the ancestors already entered earlier by our volunteers. A subscriber recently added three members of his family in our database and received in return a pedigree chart with over 100 ancestors (7 generations), and this in 5 minutes, not to mention the ability to create instantly lists of descendants of these ancestors. In Luxembourg, you will find nothing comparable to our project and for this reason, please help us to assemble the large Grand Duchy of Luxembourg genealogy puzzle and the neighboring regions. Check the pedigree charts of Christiane, Hortense, Paulette and Serge. Do the same, we will support you!
Today, you check on the Internet all records of the Civil (~ 1795-1923) and parish registers (~1600-~1815) of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as well as the notary records 1621-1821 and the 1843-1900 censuses without going to archives or libraries. Follow

Our website igenealogy.lu now holds 81 trees with 216,000 people..

During the month of June, our website, www.roots.lu, was been hacked several times and for this reason, the site was temporarily closed. Meanwhile, we try another solution. We apologize for this inconvenience.


Be a volunteer of the non-profit luxroots.com association, and help us build together the family tree of Luxembourg. In less than 5 years, luxroots.com is able to establish pedigree charts or lists of offsprings up to 13 generations (~1600 to 2020 period) for every person born, married or died in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and even in border areas online and within seconds.
Join a team of over 50 volunteers who have engaged in meaningful and informative work, that is useful for the future. Genealogy has never been easier than today!

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.

We wish you a beautiful summer vacation 2016!

Our next newsletter will be sent on Thursday, JuLy 28th, 2016.
