The map above shows the portion of Germany under consideration. It is taken from an 1832 map titled "The Kingdom of Hannover with the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg." It conforms to the boundaries established by the Treaty of Paris of 1815. Shown are the Duchy of Bremen, Duchy of Verden, and part of the Duchy of Luneberg, which are all a part of Hannover. Also shown is the eastern part of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, and the Hanseatic Free Cities of Bremen and Hamburg. Cities and towns shown on the original map that have special relevance to this website have been highlighted. All other cities, towns, and villages mentioned are located by their relationship to highlighted places.
Near Bederkesa is the former village of Lührsfelde which is not on the map. If you are interested in learning about it, other place names involving Lührs, and related topics, simply follow the link to Lührs Place Names. For information on the name Lührs itself, including spelling variations, link to The Name Lührs. The first documented use of an early form of the name Lührs was by Count Luder of Stade. We don't claim him as our ancestor, but you may want to learn a little more about him, as well as the Concept of a Lührs Progenitor.
If you just want to get to the genealogy, perhaps the place to start is the Index of all Names in the Database. Each name is spelled in the manner that was used in contemporary documents in the specific localities. Alternatively, you may wish to just browse through descendants in the Database of Lührs Family Associations, which begins with the Lührs progenitor we've postulated. Please note though, we have intentionally not included specific sources in this database. Use e-mail links to contact us for more detailed information, including sources. Likewise, there are no known living people listed in this website. Our family lines are usually truncated around the year 1900, but with complete generations included. This should permit all serious researchers to determine whether there are probable relationships between their lines and these without unnecessarily injecting privacy issues into our work and this website.
At present, active contributors to the project are: Bruce H. Luhrs, Judith Gray, Marjorie J. Luhrs, Tom Luhrs, Vic Berecz and Joan Luhrs Berecz.
