Luxembourgers in North America
An interactive map of where emigrant families put down roots — the towns, churches, and monuments that carry Luxembourg's story, from Minnesota to both coasts.
Wëllkomm!
The Twin Cities Luxembourg American Society brings together Americans of Luxembourgish descent, dual citizens, and expat Luxembourgers across the Upper Midwest. This site is built around two questions: where do you come from, and what does Luxembourg mean to you today? Here's where to start.
One thing before you go exploring: anywhere you see a word with a dotted underline — like Lëtzebuergesch — hover over it, or tap it, and it translates itself. The site speaks both languages, and so can you.

Six things to try
Could you be a Luxembourg citizen?
Thousands of Americans have reclaimed citizenship through an ancestor. A two-minute quiz walks through your family history and gives you a personalized read.
Wuert vun der Woch
One Luxembourgish word each week, with audio so you can hear how it's really said — plus Elo zu Lëtzebuerg, what's happening in the Grand Duchy right now.
Minnesota's Luxembourg story
Why so many Luxembourgish names around the Twin Cities? History, side-by-side stats, culture, and the Lëtzebuergesch language itself.
Come to something
Happy hours, heritage events, traditions worth keeping alive. We gather regularly — come say Moien.
The members' corner
Members get a private corner of the site: a member directory, a map of members' ancestral communes, and member-only events. A Household membership covers everyone at your address.
Coming this fall
The site keeps growing
This fall brings The Loon & the Lion, our email newsletter — and Ass Ären Numm lëtzebuergesch?: look up your family name in a searchable index of the surnames Luxembourgers carried to America. Members hear about every launch first.
