Dear subscribers, dear visitors of our websites, dear friends

The price of the luxroots subscription has not changed since 2011 although the number of entered births has increased from around 400,000 to 1,285,000, that of marriages from 28,000 to 182,000 and that of deaths from 6,000 to 73,000 without mentioning the other benefits covered by this subscription.
As per April 28th, 2017, we have slightly adjusted our subscriptions by one euro. This increase will be compensated by the allocation of 300 myluxroot points (instead of 200).
In order not to attract too many genealogists doing research beyond their families, we stopped selling myluxroots points. Instead, we encourage them to join our projects to enter details of records or their recent family members in our common and non-profit database. The points allocated for this active participation in our project have been increased considerably. info+
What to do with these points? You can use these points to activate certain transactions or to access other databases or websites. You can also exchange points against PDF lists with birth / baptism data for people of a certain surname. And under certain conditions, we now authorize you to renew your subscription with these points.
