for me it hasn't help my lukeis line become better understood, also few people here i have met have lukeis in their trees which was a shock, if more detailed info on my lukeis ancestor's orgins came about then it would most certainly have helped me alot more

Hi Mr Newzealand,

I was only able to find one posting on RootsChat looking for help with the lukeis family. The post was asking if anyone knows a lukeis clan from Cornwall.

Perhaps if you add some names and dates and add what you know about the family we maybe able to find some more information for you. Don't forget to tell us what you would like to try and find out

Regards

Sarah

Hi sarah steve g also has them , i can't give dates due to the untrustworthy info on ancestry, what i know about the family varies greatly as detail is hard to trust, so far i've had no major luck with them

Hi Mr Newzealand

I've just done a search on another site  for baptisms, marriages and burials,  and find there are 61 records for Lukeis in Cornwall, from 1589 to 1872. These records would all be pretty reliable.

As Sarah has said, if you start a new thread with what you know - first names, approx dates and parishes etc. -  I'm sure we could help you.

hi thanks gadget its not only just that but i have found them in wiltshire in the early 1600's somerset , devonshire in the late 1200's its just there isnt any consist area they stick to they are like a fire they pop up everywehere making a search all the harder to conduct,many here on the site have never heard of lukeis which is interesting as at one point in the uk's history it was a common cornish surname, i have found only 12 people to date in australia with the name lukeis which may be related to me in some way, i cannot also find a country they started in , i think they must be eastern european jews as they show up in many of europe's eastern nations
