Searching for ancestors records in Luxembourg is easy. It is done in the main city and there are people there to help. You even get an archive library card after doing some searches. However, finding gravestones and other physical proof of ancestry proved to be much harder. It seems almost all the gravestones in the churches are not older than 150 years or less. The old ones left are put leaning against walls indicating some major disruptions at the churches, something I need to investigate further. But renting a car and driving through the countryside proved to be the best part of my visit to Luxembourg. It s very beautiful and organized and clean country though fairly expensive. I started searching Ell where my great great grandfather was born. In the end I found no traces of the either of my great great grandparents, the Strotzs. I highly recommend the village of Larochette. You will enjoy the myriad of cafés, restaurants, walking and hiking areas as well as old castles. I want to stay in this town on my next visit.
