Note that the FamilySearch transcribed databases are also available on the pay site Ancestry, (world wide subscription) under the titles "India, Select Marriages 1792-1948"; "India, Select Marriages, 1792-1948"; "India, Select Deaths and Burials, 1719-1948". These records are transcriptions without images.The privacy restrictions appear to be the same as the FamilySearch restrictions.
To find out details of microfilms which may be ordered from FamilySearch, until 31 August 2017, or which have been digitised, use the '''[https://familysearch.org/catalog-search FamilySearch Library catalogue]''' . Those records which have been digitised contain a camera icon. Some digitised microfilms of Church registers in India are available to view on your home computer. However, if the microfilmed record originated at the British Library, the digitised microfilm must be viewed at a [[FamilySearch Centres|FamilySearch Centre]].

'''If you have found a transcribed record from the India Births, Marriages or Burials on FamilySearch, as stated previously please be aware that this is not a full record. It is recommended that you view the original entry from the microfilm quoted.''' This will almost always contain occupational information which may provide a valuable clue for the location of further records. In addition, you can check that there have been no transcription errors. Information about ordering microfilms/digitised microfilms may be found in the Fibiwiki article [[Family History FamilySearch Centres]]. Note also that there is an alternative way to obtain a copy of a record, as '''most of the record images are now available on the pay website [[Findmypast|findmypast]]'''. If the image is available on findmypast, this will be the most convenient method for most people.

Access the microfilms though the FamilySearch catalogue, and click on the camera icon for those records which have been digitised.
