Lutgen History

A quick story about Corneil is that he was buried in Luxemburg, Minnesota at Wendel Cemetery, and then later his body was moved to St Nicholas, Stearns County, Minnesota and buried in St Nicholas Cemetery. When his body was moved to St. Nicholas Cemetery, his black tie was removed and a piece given to each child.


Location:

The last known location of the Lutgen/Welter family prior to immigration was in Tarchamps, commune of Harlange, canton of Wiltz, in Luxembourg. The Lutgen family had lived in Liefrange, near Esch, in the 1700's. The Welter family appears to have lived in the Tarchamps area, as far back as the late 1600's as indicated by birth/marriage/death records.
