Hello, I have found this board very helpful! I'm just starting on my documentation journey and wanted to share a page I found: List of Communes with Contact InformationOnce I determine where my ancestor was born, this page helped me locate an email address to get requests in for certified copies of everything I needed. The wonders of the interwebs! Cheers, Jen

I need to give credit where it's due. I got this link from another post on this very board! I found it very easy to request certificates from the local 'hotel de ville' or cantons via email and in person. I also found it helpful to actually call first to explain what I was looking for and ask who within their office I should email additional details to about the request. Skype is great for making free/low cost international calls and very easy to use. However its important to be sure that you have the correct locations and understand which towns "communes" fall under which cantons. In at least one instance I found myself going to the smaller towns when I should have been going directly to the canton to request information. Here is a list that explains the administrative sub divisions that you might find helpful: fr.geneawiki.com/index.php/Les_116_communes_de_Luxembourg
