*St Andrew's Church of Scotland - opened 1818. [http://www.standrewschurchkolkata.in Website for St Andrew’s Church] with contact details. Previously the website advised that the church holds the Scottish Cemetery Burial Register from its inception in 1826 and Baptism and Marriage Registers of St Andrew's Church, Kolkata and for small fee would search and provide a copy of an extract. It St Andrew's also holds the Baptism and Marriage Registers and some other documents for Church of Scotland cantonment Churches throughout India, Ceylon, Burma and some Gulf stations.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130923172221/http://standrewschurch-kolkata.org/index.html Previous Home page] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130926204733/http://standrewschurch-kolkata.org/archive.html Archive] St. Andrew's Church. Retrieved 28 October 2014</ref> Note however this wording no longer appears. It is believed the St. Andrew's Church burial registers (11 volumes) may have been digitised some years ago, (possibly when restoration work was done by INTACH in 2013-14) but currently (2019/01) they are not known to be available online. In the past a researcher reported a lack of response to emails, so a personal visit may be necessary. Note also that this church is now part of the [Anglican/Protestant] Church of North India, refer above.
*Greek Church - established 1780.
*Holy Church of Nazareth ([[Armenian]]) - built in 1724. Dr. Reuben Khachaturyan/Liz Chater have transcribed all the baptisms at this church. They can be viewed on the [https://search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=195&s_id=126 FIBIS database]. Liz also has many photos of graves at the Nazareth Church on [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~chaterfamilytree/ her website].
