Hi, just found this site. Looks like it is a secret as there are not many messages.

My GGgrandparents, Nicholas Goergen and Anna Mehrens and their 12 children came to the USA about 1850, as close as I can tell at this time. Possibly some of the grandparents and other relatives also went with them, but no evidence of that at this time.

He was born in Schoos, she in Christnach. Most of their children were born in or near Christnach, leading me to assume they left Christnach to begin their journey to Minnesota, USA. A couple of the children are listed as being born in Germany.

Q: Was the Christnach area of LUX ever part of Germany around 1830-1840?

Databases I have seen, list for example, my GGGgrandfather John Goergen B: ABT 1764 Schoos, Echternach, Luxembourg.
Q: Is Echternach in this context considered a province, county, or ?.

Can anyone provide any additional info about Christnach, Schoos, Fischbach(there are 2, the one near Schoos)

Other ancestor names include: Gorgen, Reuter, Wahlens, Lucas, Wagener, Goergen, Mehrens, Berg.
