Apparently all Luces in the United States and Canada are descended from Henry
Luce who was born in about 1640 and lived in Scituate,
Massachusetts by 1666.
The best source for
Luce (or
Luse or
Loose) genealogy is the huge, 4-volume work by Martha F. McCourt THE AMERICAN DESCENDANTS OF HENRY
Luce OF MARTHA'S
VINEYARD published in 1995 by the New
England Historic Genealogical Society. There is a copy of this work at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City,
Utah. It can not be microfilmed because of copyright restrictions. However, a 1985 edition is available on microfilm on loan to any branch of the Family History
Library. Martha
McCourt has attempted to trace all the descendants of Henry
Luce. There is an excellent every-name index. There is a copy of her 1995 edition
in each of the 50 states, usually in the main historical or genealogical library for each state. I hope that helps all you Luces.
