*[[Church records|Baptisms, Marriages and Burials]] for Burma are included in the [[Bengal Ecclesiastical Returns Index|Bengal returns]] ('''N/1''') up to 1936(with only brief details for baptisms from 1923). Records for 1937 to 1957 for Burma are in a separate series '''N/10''' with a single index for Burma BMBs. All these records (subject to a few exceptions) are part of the digitised India Office Records collection on the commercial website [[Findmypast]] where however due to the dates of the N/10 record series, for privacy reasons only minimal details may be displayed for baptisms from 1937 and marriagesfrom 1938, although death records should display standard details, as should 1937 marriages (as at 2023/03/13). The N/1 record indexes are available on [[IGI|FamilySearch]], but those for N/10 are not. If you want a full record from the N/10 series, for most people the only option will be to request a copy from the [[British Library]]. *[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorv_4-2&cid=1-1-8#1-1-8 Burma Gazette '''IOR/V/11/3406-3694'''] 1875-1952.This publication was one of the Government Gazettes which were the official newspapers of the Government of India and its provincial governments where information, such as appointments, promotions,etc was 'gazetted'.
