Finding Your Ancestors' Town in Luxembourg[edit | edit source]
- Genealogical records are organized by geographical locality. Civil registration (government birth, marriage, and death records) were kept in the commune, and church records (christenings/baptisms, marriages, and burials) were kept at the parish. To search these records, you must know the town where your ancestors lived.
- If you do not know your ancestors' town, follow the advice in the Wiki article, Luxembourg Finding Town of Origin, to search a variety of records that might provide that information.
