Looks like Luxenburg to me. ________________________________ From: Elaine O'Neill <elaineoneill1948@gmail.com> To: prussia-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, June 29, 2011 5:13:14 PM Subject: [PRUSSIA-ROOTS] Need help deciphering place name My husband's G-g-grandfather, Adam Meyer(s) came to the US in 1834. In various records he is said to have come from Prussia or from Germany. Today when searching for his children in the US Census I hit what could be a real jackpot. On the 1920 census for his son George W. Meyers, in Williams County, Ohio, the census enumerator not only listed "Germany" as the birthplace of George's father, but he included a more specific location. My problem is I can't be sure of what he wrote. It looks to be "Luxemburg", but it could also be "Lutenburg." I've cropped the original document and posted it on Flickr. Would someone be willing to take a look and give me your opinion on what it looks like to you? Here is the link for the cropped image http://flic.kr/p/9Y6Y7f . If you have Ancestry and would like to view the original image here is a link (I hope) to it: http://preview.tinyurl.com/3ddenp6 . George W. Meyers family begins on line 43. Another reason I'm not sure of the location name is that I don't know the history of Luxembourg, whether or not there was an area known by that name, even though it would not have been on any map. I also don't know if there is or was a city of Lutenburg. I would really appreciate whatever help anyone can provide. Thank you so very much!
