I wish I knew more. I was given the fact that my ancestor Joannes Schmitz was born in Lieffrig, Luxembourg in about 1728. I have seen no records to support that fact.

He married in about 1750 (No record found to date) to Elisebeth Siebenaler (Daughter of Georgius Siebenaler also known as Ropesh. Elisebeth was born April 26, 1728 in Arsdorf.

I have no one in my lineage who left the villages that you have an interest. My Ancestors left Holtz, Luxembourg in 1864 and 1869 and married in Goodhue County in Minnesota.

Through the LDS church I have completed a large amount of research on my Ancestors from Luxembourg. Each Generation has led me to new villages.

My research has now led me to Liefrang in hopes to confirm the ancestry of Joannes Schmitz. There were two differnt Schmitz families in Arsdorf of which I could not connect. Sometimes the use of house names has complicated the search. There was a Cornelis Schmitz who may be a brother.

Any assistance in confirming the existance of the older records from Liefrang would be appreciated.

If I can assist you in reseach in Minnesota or possibly Northern Iowa let me know.

Thank you for your response.

Mike
