===Discontinued Rootsweb Mailing Lists===
'''Beginning March 2nd, 2020 all Rootsweb Mailing Lists have been discontinued. Mailing list archives will remain available and searchable'''.
'''Update noted 27 September 2020'''. There have been changes to the Mailing List Archives. It is no longer possible to directly browse the Archives, but searching is still possible. The website URL has changed. A typical URL for a post has changed from <nowiki>https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/india.rootsweb.com/thread/15659804/</nowiki> to
<nowiki>https://mlarchives.rootsweb.com/listindexes/emails?listname=india&thread=15659804</nowiki>
====Rootsweb INDIA====
The most popular list for those researching family history in India was the India List, commenced in 1997 and most recently hosted by Rootsweb, part of Ancestry.
<br> There is a vast amount of information stored in the archives, but with the introduction of the last website, some information may have not been transferredand it is unclear whether a subsequent change in website URL has affected any of the data. <br>'''[https://listsmlarchives.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/listlistindexes/emails?listname=india.rootsweb.com/ Search the India List Archives]'''
====Rootsweb INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ====
According to its website the India- British- Raj List was:
<br>A mailing list for anyone with a genealogical interest in the period of British rule of most of the Indian subcontinent (present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and Myanmar (Burma)) which lasted from 1858, when the rule of the British East India Company was transferred to the Crown, until 1947, when the independence of British India was granted and Pakistan was formed.
