The following is a list of all the bishops and dioceses of the [[Church of South India]], correct as at January 1995.
The CSI was formed out of most of the Protestant denominations of Christian churches, after Independence from Britain. If you are trying to find the location of a specific church in South India, you could write to the diocese and they will give you the postal address and the pastor's name. If you're not sure which diocese to write to, you could email me and I may be able to offer a suggestion. Note that in many cases, the original pre-Independence records are kept in the Diocesan office itself. If you wish to view original old records while in India, then the Diocesan Office itself is your most likely source.
Please note that the best way of trying to find out about your ancestors' baptisms, marriages and burials is NOT to go directly to the church concerned, but rather to view the records that have been indexed and microfilmed in London. If you live in London, then you can view these microfilms at the India Office Library and Records. If you live outside of London, then the best way to view the microfilms is at your nearest [[LDS]] (Mormon) Family History Centre. Details on how to do this are included on my webpage about Church Records.
