I was just wondering if anyone is in a spot such as I am (I can't believe I am the only one) who does not have a clue where in Luxembourg my gr gr grandfather came from in 1862. And also has a common surname such as my John HOFFMAN. Where should I best spend my time? Now I believe I have all the records my ancestor left and have spent some time checking out all the Luxembourg sites but I think they would be more useful to me if I knew the location. And I will keep checking. I am very appreciative of all the advice I have received. But I wonder if the best advice I could get would be to check all the LDS parish records for Luxembourg first. I read somewhere it should not take over 8 hours. What does anyone know about those LDS records? Are they complete? Are they tricky to read when one doesn't know the language? I would appreciate any advice to someone who has not made that first step to a location name. Thanks again. Karen Miller
