→The very first steps
:'''Note''': Only [[findmypast]] contains images of the records, which generally contain '''additional''' information to the transcriptions, such as occupational details, which may be very helpful for your research.
:Some later records for baptisms and marriages are not available with full details for privacy reasons on [[findmypast]]. For those unable to visit the British Library, alternative records are available for later births and marriages on FamilySearch digitised microfilms, and previously issued microfilms, see [[IGIFamilySearch]] and [[FamilySearch Centres]].
*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]]. When you have some identifying details of a person such as name, date and place(presidency), you might wish to join the India List and send an email to the list, asking whether anyone has any knowledge of the family.
