===Rootsweb INDIA===
The most popular list for those researching family history in India is the '''INDIA List''' hosted by [http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/index.html Rootsweb]. You can exchange ideas, suggestions, queries, questions and family details with a group of people (from beginner to expert) who are interested in the same subject. The List currently has over 700 members.
Before submitting queries to the List, it is recommended to first [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?path=INDIA '''search the INDIA List archives'''] to see if your question has been asked before. You may also use this search page to search for surnames that may have been mentioned before.
:'''Update''' All Rootsweb Lists Archives and Search, including the India List, have been were unavailable since early for some weeks in July 2016. As This problem appears to have now resolved, but if it reoccurs, as an interim measure, you may be able to locate some past posts by googling your search term together with '''site:archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/INDIA'''.
As you may appreciate, asking the same beginner questions to the list can become tiresome for the regulars on the List. It is also recommended to 'lurk' in the background if you are new to mailing lists (or even the INDIA List) and get a 'feel' for the format of questions and 'list etiquette'.
