Both the '''National Archives of India''' (Delhi) and the '''National Archives of Pakistan''' (Islamabad) contain some old records, including old vernacular newspapers and press publications (such as pamphlets, cards and other such material) and these are worth looking into for mention and notice/s of marriages and deaths.
The '''Punjab Archives''' at [[Lahore]] (now in Pakistan) also hold pedigrees of many Punjabi and Pashtun/Pathan Indian princes, ''Jagirdars'', ''Zamindars'' and other 'notables' from circa 1840s to 1940s, of all creeds. In some instances, dossiers and secret files may also be available on some individuals and notable families, and on many of the princely states attached to the Punjab. (Website should be available soon) The '''Pakistan Heritage Foundation''' (PHF) is a private, non-profit organization in [[Karachi]], which has done a lot of work to help rescue and preserve old archival records in Karachi city and is now also attempting to do the same for some other, selected cities and towns, gradually. Their website offers more information and contact details [http://heritagefoundationpak.org Pakistan Heritage Foundation] (Official Website of the PHF)
There are several '''books from British times''' enlisting pedigrees of chiefs and families of note, from the 19th century onwards (Please see list below).
