→The very first steps: update date
*Search the archives of the India List. You may find that someone else has already researched the family tree you are interested in. Read how to do this, and more about the India List, in the Fibiwiki link [[Mailing lists]]
*Search the main online data bases. There are three of these, FIBIS; the IGI index on Family Search - which is the website of the Mormon Latter Day Saints Church (LDS); and the British Library site, India Office Family History Search. The LDS site hosts a large volume of transcriptions based on the India Office [[Church records|church records]] at the British Library, so you may wish to investigate this website first. '''Information about births is available to 1910, marriages to 1935 and deaths to 1948'''. (Alternative records are available for later births and marriages, see the link [[IGI]]). The FIBIS database contains information from many sources, including (at April 2013) some births to '''19251926'''. The records found on the British Library website contain most of the information found on the original record, but are only a small proportion of the total records. To access the links for these data bases, and for more information, read
