==India Office Records at the British Library==
===[[Church records# Records at the British Library| Church records at the British Library]]===
A number of records appear on the [[LDS]] FamilySearch site, refer [[IGI]].
The Church records for the Andaman Islands mainly appear in the Bengal Presidency records, although there are a few in the Madras Presidency records
It appears that from circa 1861 the Andaman Islands were administered by Burma, which in turn was part of the Bengal Presidency. At a later (unknown) date, but by 1893, it was part of the Madras Presidency, as show by this [http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofindia00lethiala#page/178/mode/2up/search/Andaman link], page 178 ''The history of India'',
revised by Sir Roper Lethbridge 1893.(Archive.org) At a still later date, the Presidency may have again changed, so if you are searching for church records, using the indexes, (either at the [[British Library]], or by [[Using LDS Microfilms#Index|using LDS Microfilms]])
it is suggested you search in both Bengal and Madras Presidency records.
