My name is Brandon and I am from St. Landry, a small town in Evangeline Parish. I currently reside further north in the state in Alexandria, LA.
I've been researching my Lutz Family ancestry for about 3 years now. I'm interested in the Lutz's of the early St. Landry Parish, particularly those of my kin that settled in the area known locally as Lutz Hill, just outside of Bayou Chicot. (Which now resides in Evangeline Parish as of 1910)
My Lutz ancestors came from the Ingwiller area of Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France. My 4th GGF arrived with his brother in 1828 in New Orleans. I've been fortunate enough to find many records and have some French genealogists help me piece together some missing info in my family tree. I've also been able to successfully trace my French ancestors back to their original German roots with the discovery of 12th GGF, Wolff Lutz, from the Baden area of Germany.
If you are researching the same family or have any information for me that you may think is valuable, please feel free to contact me. I am willing to share what ever I have on my ancestors if it will help.

Thanks for becoming pre-1700 certified. Now that you will be working on older profiles you will find yourself collaborating more with others. The best way to do this is by joining a project. I see you have ancestors from France. Have a look at the French Roots project and see if is of interest to you. Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Thanks, Susie :-)
