About UsThe Louks/Loucks Family Association (LLFA) is a Canadian-American organization that was formed on July 31, 1993. It publishes newsletters periodically throughout the year and hosts biennial meetings in both the United States and Canada. For information on how to become a member, please click on the "Membership" link above. Our association is a non-profit group dedicated to various Laux/Louks/Loucks families and their history with an emphasis on descendants of the individuals who shared the surname and settled in America during the early 1700s. We also give special attention to the eight men with such names who were brought to New York with a larger group of Palatine immigrants in 1710. Go to the "Laux--A to Z" link for more on this topic, or check out the "Pre-1709 Study" section for an update on our efforts to determine Laux origins. Because DNA testing is opening up new avenues in genealogical research, several of our members have been tested to establish links to their ancestors. For the most part, testing has been done through FamilyTreeDNA.com and its Palatine Project, which is attempting to establish a database of descendants from the hundreds of original Palatine settlers in America. This company provides special rates for those who qualify. To learn more about DNA testing and to see some of the LLFA results, click on "DNA Research." We hope that this site will provide a platform for further research by bringing together like minded "cousins" who will give their advice to others and freely share their findings. Because there are many websites of interest to our members and the greater Louks/Loucks population, we are providing links to some of them on our "Resources" page. We will also be putting up "Photographs" of significance to our various family histories. The Latest The 2023 Reunion of the Louks/Loucks Family Association was held in conjunction with the annual Louks Family Reunion in Vassar, Michigan, the first full weekend in August. The 2025 Reunion would rotate to a Canadian location on a weekend in July or August, possibly in St. Marys, Ontario. Check back for details closer to that time. |
