About Fibiwiki

Fibiwiki is a wiki where you can share information useful to people researching ancestors in India. It not only contains guides to help you research, but also lists sources, and general background information about the culture, society and history of India during the period from 1600 to 1947. If you don't have information to contribute, please enjoy reading the articles on this website.

Finding Information

The Fibiwiki is like an encyclopaedia. The best way to find things is to type your subject of interest into the Search Box in the left-hand navigation panel and see what data is available on our site.

  • Clicking on Go will take you to the page of that name, if there is one
  • Clicking on Search will show you a list of pages that mention that search term

Alternatively, you can browse content by using the section below.
