1. Luxembourgers [1]
Hi I stand by what Karen Whitmer says. Although Luxembourgers may indeed be Germanic, that is not to say, in my opinion, that they are German. The language difference is the main reason why I believe so. Thank you Bob Olson
2. Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Bitburg or Kreis Bitburg ... the differnce [1]
Dear Mr. Lichter, Your talk about the Duchy of Luxembourg, though in relation to Bitburg, caught my attention. I have been trying to zero in on what film(s) the Latter Day Saints made which could help me learn more about my great-grandfather's family. From records (death, marriage, & the like), I find he came from Betzdorf, as did his siblings. A letter, written by his niece, says family came from area that was Duchy of Luxembourg. Viewing the LDS' catalog, most all records come earlier, or too late
3. Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] German Luxemburgers [1]
I think that you should be careful when referring to Luxemburgers as Germans, although you are right when you say they come generally from the same stock and so forth. I felt your conclusions rather simplified a complicated situation and I wanted to respectfully add the little grey to the matter that it deserves.... if any of that made any sense. You must remember that the idea of nationality is a new one. Before the nationalist movements of guys like Mazzini in Italy and Bismarck in Germany and others li
4. Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Bitburg or Kreis Bitburg ... the differnce [1]
Chris... There are two Betzdorf's in this region... One in eastern Luxembourg, the other is north & east of Koblenz, (Rheinland-Pfalz) Germany The one in Luxembourg has always been part of the Grand Duchy and films exist. Luxembourg records on film (LDS/FHC) run from the late 1700's to about 1900. What years (time span) do you wish to locate for this Betzdorf. Lux records also support quick search via 10 year surname indexes on film for each area. Richard ----- Original Message ----- From:

6. Pauli, Biwer, Scharding, Rodt, Zirbes [1]
Hello everyone, Been quiet lately as I have a very demanding work schedule. I discovered these records about three and half years ago, but I wasn't completely sure if they were my family or not. I have since found new data that ties everything together, and thought I'd share with everyone. All city references except Pittsburgh, are in the District (Kreis) of Trier. Starting with great-great-grandmother and her line going backwards: * Anna Margaret Pauli, b. 1849 Kordel, d. abt. 1914 Pittsburgh * H
7. Re: GROTHAUSEN Surname [1]
Phyllis, The LDS IGI Files show thousands of GROTHAUSENs and common variations from all over old Germany. There are hundreds of Anna GROTHAUSENs and common variations from Prussia alone.

8. town name [1]
Hello: I have a church record for a ancestor that came from Septfontaines Luxembourg. In the record it mentions his father and mother as being from Wolehringer (at least that is how I think it is spelled). The problem I'm having is there is not a village or town even close to this spelling. I was wondering if someone (who has done extensive research in Luxembourg) might be able to help me out. Thanks, Phyllis
9. Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] German Luxemburgers [1]
Thomas, Luxembourgers never considered themselves German and to this day they do not want to be referred to as such. Over the years, Luxembourg has been "ruled" by many outsiders and the people did not really consider themselves Austrians, Spanish, Belgians, Dutch or French. They were Luxembourgers -- in spite of what labels other people wanted to give them. As Luxembourg was a legitimate country, they were often too small to be noticed by the rest of the world, as Bob Olson points out. They were

11. Grothausen [1]
For the familyname Grothausen please look into the parish books of Uexheim and Ahuette. These towns are located some miles east of Wiesbaum. There were Grothausen families since the 18-th century working in a iron-factory. Werner Lichter

13. Bitburg or Kreis Bitburg ... the differnce [1]
Dear reader, the county (german "Kreis", speak Krays) of Bitburg was new founded in 1815 out of parts from the former "Departement de la Forets", County of the forests (untill 1795 of "Duchy of Luxemburg") and the "Departement de la Sarre" Counrty of the Saar (untill 1798 parts of the archibishopric of Trier). Untill 1798 this archibishopric was a country in the German Roman conformerated states. Luxemburg belonged to the Autrian Netherlands since 1715 up to 1795. In 1815 these parts of Luxemburg and T
14. border changes of Luxembourg [1]
Hi Werner: As I understand, the final border changes in Luxembourg took place with the Congress of Vienna. Is that a map that shows the exact border changes of Germany and Luxembourg. I would like to know that so that the St. Thomas college in St. Paul, Minnesota can start collecting histories and genealogies from that are now Germany that used to be Luxembourg. Is there a map or a list of the villages? You mentioned 94 villages. Is there a list? A lot of times in America, some of the Luxembourg em
15. Luxembourgers [1]
Listers, Luxembourgers, consider themselves just that Luxembourgers. They speak Luxembourgishe which they consider a separate language from German or French. This from my grandfather whose families go back in Luxembourg to the 1600s. He called himself Flemish which I understand is from Belgium. He would not call himself either German or French and corrected anyone who did. He was born in Waldbillig in the year 1862. I first heard of the Duchy of Luxembourg in history at the time of Charlegmagne
16. Finding Passport documents [1]
Hello I hope someone can answer this question. I have been told that legal immigrants had to have a passport in order to leave Germany (with description of the person who was immigrating) and that these can be found in some of the German Archives. I am going to Germany in October and wondering if copies of passports for the Trier/Saarburg region might be found in the Archive at Koblenz, Trier or Saarburg. Specifically, I am looking for the passports from the villages of Irsch bei Saarburg and Zerf

Karen, Maybe some maps will help "sort out" the villages/towns. http://webplaza.pt.lu/meisch/imTIME/aWW1_2.html where you will find several links to maps ... Here is one link with some town names http://genhames.free.fr/frontiereslux.htm (dates: 1659, 1815, 1839) and, a collection of Luxbg related maps (dated ... and courtesy to Gary Little) http://www.luxcentral.com/LuxMaps.html And, we are all waiting for a collection of 4 books - Census from 1766 - edited by J.-C.

19. Re: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Luxembourgers [1]
Charlemagne wasn't French. He was German from birth contrary to popular assumptions and belief. You see, the Rheinland Franks (later split into the West Franks & East Franks & the Salian Franks), etc were all Germanic tribes. The French as we know did not come into existence for more than 700 years later. Charlemagne had his palace at Aachen which is located in Germany. His 3 sons' names were all Germanic. They were Lothair, Karl and Ludwig. Lothair was given the Middle Kingdom which was Duchy of Lotha
20. RE: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Finding Passport documents [1]
I must add that though Kathy knows the specific village(s) of her ancestors, and is looking more for passport/register information vis-`-vis the archives in the Saarburg-Trier area, what I previously posted should be helpful to anyone looking for more generalized information on the topic of German passports and emigrant permits, and some of the resources available to search to help one determine an ancestor's point of origin in the old country. This, since there seems to be a number of posts recently

22. project Bitburg familybook [1]
hello friend in research, after Mr. Werner Naumann passed away in February we got back his project "familybook Bitburg" to complete his work. Werner Naumann has done a great work as a volunteer. He put all information out of the church books of both Bitburg parrishes "BMV / Liebfrauen" and "St. Peter" 1643-1886 into his computer. I am now transcribing the rest of the datas from 1886-1900. The marriages are now complete, death are finish up to 1889. If there are any additional datas for this project, l

24. German Luxemburgers [1]
Bob, German-speaking Luxemburgers were Germans, so the 19th century appellation was correct. Furthermore Luxemburg was a part of Germany, of the old Empire till its dissolution in 1806, and of the German Confederation from 1815 till its dissolution in 1866. Only states considered German were members (some, of course, also included minorities), even if since 1945 people feel differently. But one should not anachronistically project today's national feelings backwards. Now Luxemburg had till 1839 also a lar
25. Bistumsarchive Trier [1]
Hello List: It has been about 18 months since I sent a research request to the Catholic Church of Namborn with no reply. (however, my donation was not returned) So I have finally decided to write to the Diocese of Trier. I looked back over the postings of this list to try to find the correct address. Can someone make sure I have it right? There were conflicting zip codes in the trier-l archives. Bistumsarchiv Trier Jesuiten Strasse 13b D 54290 Trier, Germany And how much money should I send? Ho
