Changes

== Religion ==

If your ancestors were Hindus, they may have made pilgrimages to sacred sites, where their family details were recorded. The [[LDS]] have microfilmed hundreds of such pilgrimage records, which may be hired at [[Family History Centres]].

== Christian Records ==

If your ancestors converted to Christianity and 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. If your ancestors were mixed race (Indian and European) then they would generally have been recorded in European churches. 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 [[APAC]] 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.

Many Christian denominations had separate "European" and "Native" congregations. The records of "Native" congregations were not usually returned to London and so are not part of the [[APAC]] holdings. However, a large number of records of non-British churches have now been microfilmed by the LDS. A listing of [[Non-British Church Records]] has been made available by FIBIS.
