The U. of St. Thomas has an online index to the 1853-1863 Decennale that can help you get started. There are records shown for the Spaus name. Please read the introduction to the search engine.

Also, look at Therese Becker's website for some general information to help you get started with the Lux. records.

Once you get into the records, the following website can help with the names of places in Lux. It is in 3 languages.

The Mormon church has genealogical guides in several languages. If you are going to pursue the Lux records, I would get French, Latin and German. The German will help you with the Lux records although the language is not German from what I understand but it is similiar enough to use the German language guide. I would also get the guide to the French calendar. Records in the late 1790s (?) and early 1800s use the French calendar.
If you are close to the St. Paul, Minnesota area, the U. of St. Thomas has all the LDS (Mormon church) midrofilms of the Luxembourg records as well as a large collection of books relating to Lux. If you can visit there, call first to let them know that you are coming.
Have you looked at all the civil and church records for her in the United States? Generally church marriage records give the parents' names. Depending on the priest, they may even give the place of birth.
