Our monthly newsletter is addressed to over 6,000 registered visitors. Some 1,000 subscribers support the future evolution of the Internet presence of this project and are coming from Luxembourg: 73,39%; from the United States: 10.01%; from Belgium: 7.40%; from France: 5.22%; from Germany: 2.54%; and 7 other countries.

If you want to start or complete your family search, we invite you to visit us at the Genealogical Days of Luxembourg and the Greater Region organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Hesperange
during the weekend of October 5th to 6th at the Centre Nicolas Braun in Hesperange (Saturday from 1 to 7 pm, and Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm).
Up to 12 luxroots associates are waiting for you to help you in your family search.

We come to you to help you find your ancestors

Our website igenealogy.lu, where you can publish your GEDCOM file for free, now holds 103 trees with 322,000 people. Give us yours and we will publish it for free on this site.
If your Gedcom file (containing 2,000 people or more) has not or will not be published on another website in Luxembourg, we will credit your account with

Romain GASPAR has just finished a new book. In 12 chapters, he presents on more than 450 pages the photographic memory of Nicolas MOLITOR of Bigonville. The book contains more than 700 photos of the region and is available at
the author Romain GASPAR at a price of 70 euros.

We regret to announce the death of our subscriber Robert ASSA from Esch-sur-Alzette. Our sincere condolences to his family.

For your searches, you do not need to have a special genealogy program, neither free nor paid. Through the myluxroots transactions, more than 400 subscribers and associates have already entered their recent family members to luxroots linking them to the ancestors already entered earlier by our volunteers. If you add 7 family members (1924-2017) in our database, it is possible to get a pedigree chart with 1,000 ancestors (10 generations), and this in 10 minutes, not to mention the ability to create lists of descendants of these ancestors instantly. 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!
How to link a death notice I found on eluxemburgensia.lu with the record of the deceased person in luxroots? See our Demo-Video. (We suggest to open the video with the Firefox Browser.) Check the list of the last uploaded pictures by our subscribers and volunteers!

Contact other luxroots users in order to work together on a common family name. 5,000 luxroots users have already given their consent.

Our next newsletter will be sent on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019.
