Luxembourgish acte: which one to request
The Luxembourgish choice is the French one in miniature: the copie intégrale with mentions for legal processes, the extrait for the simple, the multilingual for the valve — with the trilingual variants (Schmit/Schmitt/Schmidt) in the diaspora's table.
The formats
- Copie intégrale — the text with mentions: the format for legal processes.
- Extrait — the summary.
- The CIEC multilingual — the European valve.
The typical package
Intégrale + apostille + French translation — with the variants table attached for the 19th-century families. The batch at the emigration communes.
Frequently asked questions
Mentions the French way?+
The full model — marriages and deaths in the margin. The intégrale shows them; the custom inherited from Paris.
Is the 19th century legible?+
The Luxembourgish 19th-century books are well preserved — in French and German with clear handwriting. The translation reads them without drama.
