In 1930 the Anglican Church in India separated from the Church of England and became the autonomous Church of India, Burma and Ceylon, still within the worldwide fellowship of the Anglican Communion. In 1947, Protestant [[Churches in South India]] united to form the new Church of South India. Protestant churches in North India, and Pakistan followed in 1970. However there are some breakaway churches as this [http://www.religiousintelligence.com/news/?NewsID=4849 link] shows.
==India==The following is a list of all the bishops and dioceses of the Church of North India, correct as at January 1995. '''Check whether you can find a current address in one of the websites quoted below'''. The CNI was formed out of most of the Protestant denominations of Christian churches, after Independence from Britain. If you are trying to find the location of a specific church in North India, you could write to the diocese and they may give you the postal address and the pastor's name, however many churches have now closed. Note that in many cases, the original pre-Independence records are kept in the Diocesan office itself. If you wish to view original old records while in India, then the Diocesan Office itself is your most likely source.  Please note that the best way of trying to find out about your ancestors' baptisms, marriages and burials is NOT to go directly to the church concerned, but rather to view the records that have been indexed and microfilmed in London. If you live in London, then you can view these microfilms at the India Office Library and Records. If you live outside of London, then the best way to view the microfilms is at your nearest [[LDS]] (Mormon) Family History Centre. Details on how to do this are included on the page [[IGI]]
