'''See also general article: [[Church records]]'''
If your ancestors were baptised, married or buried in a European church in British India, then the church records should have been transcribed and sent to the capital of the Presidency, where they would later have been forwarded on to London. These records were indexed and about 80% of church records in British India are believed to have survived. You can access these records at the [[APACBritish Library]] in the British Library in London, or at [[LDS]] [[Family History Centres]]. The FIBIS website has extensive information on locating [[church records]] on microfilm for British India.  However, your Dutch ancestors may not have lived in British India (i.e. that portion of India that was controlled by the British - this grew from a very small area in 1600 to almost all of India by 1947). In this case, the church records will not be kept in the [[APAC]] at the British Library.
The Dutch Churchbook of St Francis' Church in Cochin has been microfilmed by the [[LDS]] and is available at [[LDS]] [[Family History Centres]] on microfilm '''498601'''. A transcribed index of the names in this book, together with dates of death, can be seen on the [http://web.archive.org/web/20040314182003/http://www.geocities.com/tijso/cochin/index.htm Archived Cochin Churchbook website] The dates of death cover the period 1751-1804
