EMIGRANTS ET REMIGRANTS LUXEMBOURGEOIS DE 1876 A 1900, with index donated by the Archives Nationals of Luxemburg Germany is a 231 page paper back book with index of Des Noms De Lieux , index Des Noms De Personnes. Section A Estats-Unis D'Amerique 1-6644; Section 8. Argenine 6645-6892; Section C Pays Extra-Europeens 6893-7123. Not being able to read German I feel the many names are listed by section of commune as emigres or remigres followed by numbers which look like month-day-year. The Persoones index is the name followed by the persons numerical number, not page number. The other index has the page number of the Section of Commune. Numbers folowing each Section are not years but numbers assigned to each person. It looks like 1879 is the earliest year but who knows. Writing this review was a challenge.
