1766 Census

CinaJ

I need to look at 1766 census within Luxembourg City, specifically Clausen, Grund and Pfaffenthal. https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/1184675

I've searched by the place names, and the churches/parishes and read all five pages of places without success. Does anyone know which film/dgs group I should look at?

Thank you.

The only census that i could find here specific for that year,is a shared Belgian/Luxembourgish one , containing only images,not indexed,need to be browsed manually following the alphabet and has placenames that are gone by now.I doubt that Luxembour has census -snaps dating back that far, except this one. Have a try

You need to cut and paste the link manually to the google prompt…

Thank you. The link you sent is for the pages that I've searched. I've used Ctrl+F for word searches and I've also read every place name for every section on all 5 screens. I was hoping that someone might have searched this census for the areas within Luxembourg City and therefore know where I can find it. I have a few more ideas to try.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Mostly the parishes are there.Churchbooks do not browse alphabetically.You need basic latin-skills also.Try to get the website in your fingers, they have a massive amount of…

Thank you. I have been using Matricula for a few other areas in Luxembourg so I appreciate your reminder that I should use it for Luxembourg City, too! Thank you for your helpful responses to my questions.
