:'''The commercial site findmypast.co.uk has digital images from the India Office Records at the British Library, including [[Church records|church records]] at the British Library'''. The digital church images are restricted for privacy purposes and a limited transcription only is available, currently (January 2014) as follows: '''There are no digital images for baptisms after 1914, nor for marriages after 1929'''. For more details see [[Findmypast-India Office Records]]
*When you have some identifying details of a person such as name, date and place(presidency), you might wish to join the India List (see above) and send an email to the list, asking whether anyone has any knowledge of the family.
*Consider joining your local genealogy society.<ref>See [http://www.ffhs.org.uk/index.php Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS)] and its publications [http://www.ffhs.org.uk/really_useful_leaflet.pdf “really useful information leaflet" (Issue 2 2013)] pdf version, [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:P6fAs1ZkATkJ:www.ffhs.org.uk/really_useful_leaflet.pdf+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au html version] , and
[http://www.sag.org.au/downloads/RUL%20leaflet.pdf "Australasian really useful information leaflet" (Issue AUS 1 2013)] pdf version, [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:gziuaq-Q_cQJ:www.sag.org.au/downloads/RUL%2520leaflet.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au html version], which also contains UK information, (the latter leaflet posted on sag.org.au) </ref> Enquire about the facilities offered to members. Most large societies provide members free online access in their libraries to commercial sites such as FindMyPast Findmypast and Ancestry. This is especially relevant as the church records at the British Library are now digitised and available through findmypast.co.uk. Some libraries may also offer free access to websites such as FindMyPast Findmypast and Ancestry, see [[Miscellaneous tips]].
