Re the Lux. Gazette: citations in Gonner Vol. 2 list surname, given name and issue/page number of reference in the LG. In searching the LG for references to my ancestors, I've found that obituaries often appear on page 5 but this is not a hard-and-fast rule. The Gonner citation may be to the decedent or a survivor--the citation simply notes that that name is mentioned on a certain page of a certain issue of the LG. If you are working with citations from Gonner, it's best to include any/all alternate spellings of a surname. In my family, for instance, I was searching for SIMMERL but also searched for SIMMERL, SIMMER, SEMMEREL, etc. Spelling was much more fluid a century ago, especially given the changes when immigration to the U.S. occurred. St. Thomas University in St. Paul has the microfilms of the LG, and a researcher there can be hired to do look-ups. Check out the information at:http://members.aol.com/VailCorp/stthomas.html The Bach-Dunn Special Collection at the St. Thomas library has a great deal of information about Luxembourg and immigration history.
