Note that the FamilySearch transcribed databases are also available on the pay site Ancestry, (world wide subscription) under the titles "India, Select Marriages 1792-1948"; "India, Select Marriages, 1792-1948"; "India, Select Deaths and Burials, 1719-1948". These records are transcriptions without images.The privacy restrictions appear to be the same as the FamilySearch restrictions.
As mentioned above, the set of records which comprises the FamilySearch transcribed India databases are now also available on [[findmypast]], as searchable records with images.
To find out details of microfilms which have been digitised, use the '''[https://familysearch.org/catalog-search FamilySearch Library catalogue]'''. Additionally there is now a Catalogue link on each Location page (introduced 2018/03). Those records which have been digitised contain a camera icon. Some digitised microfilms of Church registers in India are available to view on your home computer. However, if the microfilmed record originated at the British Library, the digitised microfilm must be viewed at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]].
This website has maintenance done in the middle of the night Utah time, when it may be unavailable, or perhaps partially available when it may become unreliable when searching. Come back another time. (Utah time is UK time less seven hours)
'''If you have found a transcribed record from the India Births, Marriages or Burials on FamilySearch, as stated previously please be aware that this is not a full record. It is recommended that you view the original entry from the microfilm quoted.''' This will almost always contain occupational information which may provide a valuable clue for the location of further records. In addition, you can check that there have been no transcription errors. Information about microfilms/digitised microfilms may be found in the Fibiwiki article [[FamilySearch Centres]]. Note also that there is an alternative way to obtain a copy of a record, as '''most of the record images are now available on the pay website [[Findmypast|findmypast]]'''. If the image is available on findmypast, this will be the most convenient method for most people. If the record image is not available on findmypast, and a FamilySearch Centre is not geographically convenient, there is the option to request a copy from the [[British Library]] (fee applies), (which may be the cheapest option for some people, noting that currently (2019/10) the India Births, Marriages or Burials images are not available at FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries).
