statistics TOP-100 as well as our updated inventory. Support the luxroots project with one of the proposed memberships.

When analyzing records for the luxroots project, our associates often fall on unusual family names, dates or places. Our associate Marilyn made us attentive to the place of birth stated in the death certificate (www.familysearch.org) established in Boulogne-sur-Seine on March 13th, 1869. The birthplace of the deceased Marie BINDENER is noted as being born in Laurence Falher (Luxembourg). For someone who is not from our region, it is difficult to know that the town of Lorentzweiler is hiding under this weird birthplace.


myluxroots offers transactions to the subscribers to manage their genealogy. The subscriber can add members of his family born after 1894 (when they are not already in our database), add studies, jobs, functions, addresses, other information, pictures and links to all the records. The subscriber, enriching the database luxroots, earns myluxroots points. These points can be used to build pedigree charts and/or lists of descendants for people in the database already linked by marriage.
