==Bishops' Transcripts==
In India, as in England, parish churches, both Church of England and Roman Catholic, were obliged to send an annual copy of baptisms, marriages and burials to their Diocesan offices. These are known in the UK and elsewhere as "Bishop's Transcripts" ( BTs, also known as Parish Register Transcripts)
"As long as the Diocesan records have not been destroyed, you will always find a copy there from every single parish church within that diocese. If you don’t get a result from the parish (where for instance, as in Burma, many have been destroyed) then write to the Bishop's secretary".<ref> Steevens, Mark [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA/2009-12/1262183536 Roman Catholic Registers in India (and elsewhere)] ''Rootsweb Indai Mailing List'' 30 December 2009.
