Pondicherry
Pondicherry was formerly a French colony.
Jean-Claude Féray has compiled an excellent series of webpages on French genealogy in Pondicherry. The site is in French, but the lists of names will be comprehensible to non-French-speakers. Here are some of them :
History of Pondicherry[1]
Useful addresses for family history in Pondicherry [2]
List of voters in Pondicherry 1792 [3]
Census of Pondicherry 1797 [4]
This India List post says that the Pondicherry archives are in the "Centre des Archives d'Outre-Mer" (CAOM) in the city of Aix en Provence, France
