Luxembourg Marriage Records Index

In Luxembourg, marriage documents have played a vital role in both historical records and genealogical research. Traditionally, marriages were recorded in parish registers, beginning in the 16th century, which document details like the couple's names, ages, occupations, and familial ties. With the country's modernization in the 19th century, civil registration became mandatory, starting in 1796 under French rule and continuing after Luxembourg’s independence. Today, marriage certificates, including the marriage act and civil records, remain key to tracing family lineages. They offer crucial insights into social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, preserving not only personal histories but also contributing to understanding Luxembourg’s demographic shifts and historical events. These documents are invaluable tools for genealogists researching Luxembourgish ancestry.
