PS I forgot to tell you that we just got microfilm copies of the Dubuque Luxemburger Gazette which covers August 4, 1871 through June 27, 1918. There is an index to this: Luxembourgers in the New World by Nicholas Gonner, which we also have. The only bad thing about this is that it is in German and is printed in that old and hard to read German Black letter print.
