IGI
,→India records
The Indian section of the IGI deals almost exclusively with Europeans and Anglo-Indians (Eurasians). In 1994, there were about 240,000 names for India. If you have a more up-to-date count, then please update this page.
You can view the Indian data online using the [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp Advanced Search] on the LDS’s [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp Family Search] website. Select region "Asia" and Country country "India"(or Singapore etc) You can also search using the [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true IGI Search]. The data is almost, but not quite as extensive. Select region “Asia”. Then select country “India” or "Asia" and "All countries" for a wider area including countries such as Singapore, Malaysia etc. There is a facility to add batch numbers, see below.
The Family Search website also includes a [http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start Record Search Pilot], which is a pilot project to access online images of data. Currently (April 2010) there is no data applicable to India, but this may change in the future.
