'''Note: Microfilm ordering services ceased 8 September 2017. Some microfilms have already been digitised, and are available online through the [https://familysearch.org/catalog/search Catalogue Search] on FamilySearch, not in the Records section, and are indicated by a camera icon. All microfilms are expected to be digitized, and available online, by 2020. Please take this into account when reading the information below.''' In London, the [[Society of Genealogists]] is believed to hold some of these microfilms.
When a microfilm has been digitised it is also, in addition to the microfilm number, allocated a '''DGS''' number, referred to as a Digital Folder number. The latter number appears to becoming the main reference number for a record set.

There are many churches in India which are not covered by the [[APAC]] holdings. The [[LDS]] Church is currently microfilming the records of these parishes. They have kindly provided me with a list of film numbers of the parishes (including the dates of the records) that they have microfilmed to date (April 2001) and I have put them here in a 'user-friendly' form for the genealogist. The towns concerned are listed alphabetically.
