Record Offices

The vital records of Luxembourg, 1600-1890, were created and maintained by village and district Catholic parishes and by civil authorities. These records include baptisms, births, burials, confirmations, conversions, deaths, and marriages, for example. During the Napoleonic era, an alternate calendar and system of records description were used. Records are microfilmed, digitized, and indexed by FamilySearch:

• Luxembourg, Civil Registration, 1796-1941

---

Civil registration offices of the commune (municipality) where the birth, marriage, or death took place keep one copy of the record. This is important for records more recent than 1941.
