Luxembourg, Civil Registration - FamilySearch Historical Records/Known Issues

Note
NOTE: Most missing records are available on microfilm. To view films, see Where do I find a FamilySearch center?.

Question 1
Question 1: Some records are missing. Where can the records be viewed? Answer 1: See answers below for information about known missing records and respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location:


 * A recent rework of the collection incorporated hamlet names into the City or Town level. The records are found by using the Catalog’s Keyword search by the name of the hamlet. Review the search results and annotate the larger city name needed to browse. For example: the records for the hamlet of Canach will now be found under Lenningen.
 * Rosport &gt; Décès 1815-1823 Naissances 1797-1888 is missing the records for the village of Osweiler. Order Film 1921599 to view the records for Osweiler births, deaths and marriages 1797-1823.

Question 2
Question 2: The Event Type and Year Range (waypoint) title does not properly reflect the actual digital record content. How can I determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection? Answer 2: The list of known waypoint discrepancies describes the event type or year range existing in the collection:


 * Diekirch &gt; Naissances, mariages, décès 1893-1902 should be relocated as Echternach &gt; Tables décennales 1893 -1903.
 * Diekirch &gt; Décès 1903-1912 year span should be 1903-1923.
 * Ell &gt; Mariages 1796-1823 includes death and baptism records.

 * Putscheid &gt; Naissances 1779-1831 begins with records from 1798 which would indicate that the year span is incorrect. However, Image 1 contains a note indicating that the years are out of order.
 * Remich &gt; Naissances, mariages, décès 1881-1894 should be relocated as Remich &gt; Naissances 1881, 1891-1894, Mariages 1891-1894, Décès 1891-1894.
