LUXEMBOURG POLITICAL FACTS
Luxembourg Background:
Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839, but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both World Wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the European Economic Community (later the European Union) and in 1999 it joined the euro currency area.

It is a commercial, banking, industrial, administrative, and cultural center as well as a rail junction. First established by the Romans on a defensive site inside the rivers' meanders, it was known by the Saxons as Lucilinburhuc [little fortress]. Luxembourg developed around a 10th-century castle that was one of Europe's strongest fortresses until the garrison was dismantled according to the terms of the Treaty of London (1867). The original nucleus of the city, in the upper town, consists of numerous medieval houses and churches, the most notable of which are the Grand Ducal Palace and the Cathedral of Notre Dame (both 16th cent.). Newer features such as the city hall and the Chamber of Deputies, as well the National Museum of Art and History and the city history museum, are also located there. The modern upper town to the west is a busy commercial center bordered by a complex of parks that replaced the old fortifications. On the Kirchberg Plateau to the northwest are Radio-Television-Luxembourg and several institutions of the

Geographie der Luxemburger Familiennamen
(Geography of Luxembourg Family Names)
STUCK?
A major problem in immigrant genealogy is bridging the Atlantic gap. Who has not experienced the frustrating feeling of knowing the country of origin but not being able to determine the village and town of origin of the ancestors? Around 1850 Luxembourg had 135 local communities (today 118), which all kept their own vital records.
A central record index is not available. Not knowing the place of origin constitutes thus an unsurmountable obstacle for accessing the records for further research. The book:
Geographie der Luxemburger Familiennamen (Geography of Luxembourg Family Names)
published by the Institut Grand-Ducal, Section de linguistique, de folklore et de toponymie, in Luxembourg, will allow you to back out of this research dead end. Based on the 1930 population census, it gives for every Luxembourg family name the number of bearers and the locality where they resided and, of course, their local frequency. It is thus possible to determine areas and gravity centers for name occurences and direct your research to these specific places.
Moreover does it permit to check whether a name is of Luxembourg origin or, in case the name has suffered phonetic changes, to verify the correct spelling.
