====Rootsweb INDIA====
The most popular list for those researching family history in India was the India List, commenced in 1997 and most recently hosted by Rootsweb, part of Ancestry.
<br> There is a vast amount of information stored in the archives, but with the introduction of the last website, some information may have not been transferred and it is unclear whether a subsequent change in website URL has affected any of the data.
====Rootsweb INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ====
According to its website the India- British- Raj List was:
<br>A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in the period of British rule of most of the Indian subcontinent (present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and Myanmar (Burma)) which lasted from 1858, when the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to the Crown, until 1947, when the independence of British India was granted and Pakistan was formed.
