'''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 [[British Library]], or at [[LDS]] [[Family History Centres]]. Moreover many of the church records have now been didigitsed and are held on the subscription website [http://www.findmypast.co.uk/ findmypast]
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 at the British Library.
