OriginAs far as we know today, the Lanners are a purely Luxembourg family that has its origins in Holzthum in the Oesling in the Northern part of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. First documentThe name is mentioned for the first time ever in a baptism record entered March 30th, 1679 by pastor Johan Brauners in the register of baptisms of the parish of Consthum:
« JB ahm 30 marty 1679 ist dem Echtbahren lannersch klesgen von holsthum undt seiner ehe hausf ein junger sohn gebohren sein nahmen ist hans jacob der petter ist der manhaft ....... gestrenge herr hans jacob Schaub zur zeit Emptmann zu schüttburg die geedell ist iacobs susanna von konsthum. S » « JB (initials of pastor Johan Brauners) On March 30th 1679 has been born to the honorable Lannersch Klesgen (Nicholas) from Holzthum and to his wife a young son his name is John James the godfather is the manly and ...... John James Schaub presently administrator at Schuttbourg castle the godmother is Jacobs Susanna from Consthum. S » Comment:
The farm in Holzthum on which John James Lanners was born has disappeared as the site has been transformed and rebuilt during the three centuries elapsed since his birth, but we know where it stood: it is the place with the house left to the church. In 1801, a member of the de Hoefnagle family that owned the Schuttbourg at that time, Albert Joseph de Hofnagle from Bastogne, bought the farm and came to live here with his family. Two of his daughters married local men, among them Félicité who became the husband of Jean Wagner in 1813. Félicité de Hoefnagle is an ancestor of today's owner, Anne Thiellen.
