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 have information to contribute, or would like to help edit fibiwiki, please contact the Webmaster. If you don't have information to contribute 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 on the top-right of your screen. As you type a drop-down list of pages are suggested. Click on a suggested page to view it or click the very bottom of the list where it says containing to view every mention of the search term in fibiwiki.

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