Hello,
I am interested in learning more about how the third partition and loss of land impacted Luxembourg's population as well as the current reclamation process.
Has any one run into any situations where they have found any their ancestors who were born around the time of the third partition(1830/1831) and living in any of the former Luxembourg towns/areas (Arlon, Aubange, Bastogne, Durbuy, Marche-en-Famenne, Neufchâteau, and Virton) that were ceded to Belgium, but who may have still been alive in 1900?
This is probably not the most accurate source but may provide a brief summary of the historical context: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Luxembourg#Third_Partition
If you've come across any interesting articles about this topic please feel free to post them to this thread.
Thanks!
