Find Living Relatives

Hi, I am looking for any Lux's, Bertrand's, Morris's and Basovsky's in the USA and UK who are descendants of Diedrich Lux and Annie Lux (nee O'Brien) and are decended from any of their children. Diedrich was born in 1845 in Germany and died 1905 in London, and some of the Lux children were born in Germany.
The children who moved to the USA were Daniel Lux and Frances Lux, Frances married Harry Bertrand in Butte, Montana, and they had twin boys Kenneth and Harry.
Daniel married Adeline Coleman and they had a son Edwin, but Adeline and Edwin moved back to the UK while Daniel stayed in America (either Chicago or California, he moved around a lot).

Also looking for descendants of Mary Magdalena Lux (who stayed in the UK and married Patrick Morris, they had three boys and one girl; James, William, Patrick and Frances) and Annie Lux who married Philip Basovsky (Basovsry/Basofsky...it's spelt loads of diff ways).

All of the Lux children were born mid-late 1880's so I'm looking for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. I am the great-great granddaughter of Frederick Lux, one of the siblings.

If anyone can help I'd be really grateful, we found the descendants of another sibling (they had too many children in those days) Josef Lux, on here so hoping we can find more!

Over to you now to do some research.................

Ahh thank you so much!!! I had all of the births but no deaths, so thank you! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I haven't been on much - had 7000 word essay to write for Uni.
I have no idea when Mary died, I'll have to see if I can get hold of a death certificate to find out why she did so young!?

The Basovsky's are difficult, the name is spelt so many different ways. I also can't seem to find any children for them.

If Philip & Annie had children, it wasn't in England/Wales....nor did they die in either country, as far as I can deduce.

Cancel the remark about deaths; I've had another trawl...............is this one?

Birth Date: abt 1881
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1955

If this is the right family, Annie states she had 8 children......all living at the time of the census

Oooh the deaths definitely look like a match to me!

And yes, already got all the details for the Lux children :)

Could this possibly be a son of Daniel Lux and Adeline Coleman?
