Surnames: Longle and Schilz or Sheilds
We are trying to find information about our family name. Martin, Margaret, children and grandchildren, arrived in the United States in 1834 on the USS Constellation. We know they were married on November 02, 1831 in Toernich, Arlon District, Luxembourg Belgium.

We want to find any information about this family. This is the missing link for us. We can't trace more until we get facts from Belgium.

Does anyone know where we can go to get more information? Maybe we could search at churches there in Toernich? Is this a large place?

Thanks for any help.

I need to make a correction it was Francis Lunkley that married Margaret.

We are curious to find Martin Longle (apparently changed name to Lunkley at Ellis Island). He was married to Mary, but we have to marriage information. We only have birth years of Martin 1801 and Mary 1809 both born in Belgium.

Does anyone know how we can find birth records and marriage records in Belgium?

We are searching the possibility that the last name might have been Longley.

Toernich is a small village with one church (Catholic). The records for the parish include Udange, a hamlet with old houses and kind people. Most of the church records for the area have been microfilmed and are available through your local Family History Library.

I am the great-great granddaughter of Charles Lunkley (Cora Lunkley was my grandmother Gertude's mother), and I would also love to find out any information about Martin Lunkley (Longle).
All I've been able to find is a possible birth year of 1765.
