You will be presented with a very long list of microfilms. The first section is the index for that Presidency, followed by a list of microfilms of the actual church records. In the index, go to the type of record you require (BAPTISM, MARRIAGE or BURIAL). Select the period in which you are interested. Each index covers around a ten-year period, although many of the early ones cover considerably longer periods. When you find the time period (e.g., 1860-1870) write down the microfilm number that appears opposite it (e.g., 480960).
Alternatively, you can look up the microfilm number on this website, [[LDS Microfilms for Bengal Presidency Church Records]], [[LDS Microfilms for Bombay Presidency Church Records]] or [[LDS Microfilms for Madras Presidency Church Records]]. You will still need to go to one fo If you live in the [[Family History Centres]] to order the microfilm of the actual index| United Kingdom, howeverIreland, apart from [[Family History Centres|Australia and New Zealand]], (and perhaps other countries) where the films must be ordered on line. Otherwise, you will still need to go to one of the [[Family History Centres]] to order the microfilm of the actual index.
Now go to the friendly FHC librarian and tell them that you wish to order that microfilm. You will be charged a small fee (in the vicinity of $6 Australian) to cover postage. In a couple of weeks (approximately!) your microfilm will arrive and the FHC will notify you. Make a booking to view the microfilm at the FHC and start looking for your ancestors!
