First, a fantastic website, then my immigration path. There's a REALLY NEAT website for those doing Luxembourg research that deals specifically with emigration from Luxembourg and immigration into the United States. The site is: http://www.igd-leo.lu/ and it describes the three main waves of Luxembourg emigration to the United States and the areas they went to -- including Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, etc. It's a really fascinating website and even if you aren't doing Luxembourg research, I seriously recommend it as a really *wonderful* example of a website that describes what the immigrants to the United States from Europe went through and a fine example of cooperation between folks in the "Old Country" with those in the "New Country" for making connections. I spent hours reading this site. For example, my family emigrated in the third and latest wave from Luxembourg approximately 1894 from Neudorf, Eich, Luxembourg-City, Luxembourg -> Butler County, NE -> Boone County, NE -> Douglas County, NE. (Neudorf is in Eich, Eich is in Luxembourg City, which is in Luxembourg.) Apparently, according to the folks at the above website, David City, NE, and Bellwood were the destinations of many Luxembourgers and mine fits that pattern. Their surnames were CORRING (sometimes spelling KORRING) and THEIS (sometimes spelled THEISEN.) I would be really interested to know if there's anyone else on this list who is researching Luxembourg roots. Sharon (By the way, I am finding it fascinating reading other people's patterns as well. I hope this gets turned into a database.) Sharon Kazmierski, Listowner, Latinteach & Latin E-mail Discussion Forums New on LATINTEACH's Website: Classroom ideas from Tiffany Wilson and Rose Williams.
