Luxembourger Gazette Newspaper Index (1871-1918):
Uselding Extractions

The Luxemburger Gazette was published in Dubuque, Iowa, from 1871-1918. It featured news of Luxembourgers and Luxembourg communities throughout the United States. Because of its broad scope in reporting personal news of Luxembourg-Americans, the Gazette is an excellent source for determining marriage and death dates. More importantly, obituaries often include where an ancestor was born or emigrated from.

Volume II of Luxembourgers in the New World contains an index to personal and place names in the Gazette. The index includes the name exactly as it appeared in the newspaper so there can be variation. For example, Nicholas Uselding might be listed as Uselding, N.; Uselding, Nic.; Uselding, Nick; or Uselding, Nicolas. There are fewer surname spelling variations than in other genealogical records, presumably because the newspaper's editors and contributers were Luxembourgers themselves, but they do still occur.

Sample Entry:

USELDING, Maggie
22.02.1910, 5

Each entry consists of the date of newspaper and the page the name appeared on. Note the European dating: Day - Month - Year, so this entry appeared in the February 22, 1910 issue on page 5.

Microfilm copies of the Luxemburger Gazette are available from the Family History Library and from several other libraries throughout the U.S.
