Revision as of 23:52, 1 January 2015
The commercial site findmypast has digital images and transcriptions from the India Office Records at the British Library, which were made available 29 January 2014.
Categories often cover a wide range of records. This is particularly true for those which might, at first glance, appear to relate only to church records. For example, the sections on births and baptisms also include such records as Addiscombe Cadets and Writer applications and those in the Deaths and Burials category show returns of death of uncovenanted civil servants and other officers which give details of family and property left by the deceased.
A full list of the records available in the British In India Collection on Find My Past can be found on the British Library website.
