The team working on genealogy for the future is the topic of the
luxroots.lu group. During the past month, we finished the following data input:
1,117 marriages 1840-1923 of the township of
Bettendorf by Micheline und Fernand HERMES-METZ
4,625 births 1797-1923 of the township of
Bissen by Armand GILLEN
4,930 births 1797-1923 of the former township of
Folschette by Paulette GRUN-BESCH.

We need more associates to help us with the data input of records for the following
Townships and parishes as well as of the cantons of Capellen, Grevenmacher, and Remich which we want to add to our project. Contact us if you are interested in working with us ! Which associate is working on what today ?

myluxroots is a new service for our subscribers allowing them to add their recent family members born from 1900 to today, to connect them with those already entered in our database, and thus obtain a pedigree chart of their recent family members. You can add further information such as studies, jobs, functions, addresses, pictures, links to other documents and more. Try it, it's very easy ! You find more information on myluxroots.com.

In order to use the application
OpenLayers in our project, we are looking for help. Please contact Georges EICHER by mail or phone. (00352) 2799 4713
