Week 25 Prompt: Earliest
This week’s 52 Ancestors theme is”Earliest.” I decided to look for the earliest record I have on my Luxembourg side of the family. So far, the earliest record is a 1757 marriage for my sixth great-grandparents, Nicolaus Sinnen and Anna Lentz. They were married on 7 November 1757 in Hemstal, Bech, Echternach, Luxembourg.
