*The National Archives of Malaysia (Arkib Negara Malaysia) in Kuala Lumpur holds the following records from Melaka (Malacca), held on microfilm at the National Archives.
**Baptismal registers 1642-1825 of the Dutch Reformed Church.
***These records are also available on [[FamilySearch ]] microfilm, but are only available at the main FamilySearch Library, known as the Family History Library<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Family_History_Library Family History Library] FamilySearch Wiki</ref> in Salt Lake City. ([https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/306537 Kerkelijke registers, 1642-1825: catalogue entry] which also includes limited marriage and death records from Arkib Negra Malaysia). The Family History Library is understood to have access to a complete microfilm collection, even though microfilms can no longer be ordered, so these microfilms should still be available there. (Currently (2017/12), these records have not been digitised, see [[FamilySearch Centres]] for details.)
**:If you are able to visit the Family History Library in person, there are specialists available to assist, see [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Family_History_Library_Research_Specialists Family History Library Research Specialists]
**:Should you wish to hire a researcher to access these records at the Family History Library, it is suggested you discuss this, preferably by telephone, with the Family History Library, noting they are early Dutch records, or try contact through the Family History Library Facebook page (see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]] ''' for details) or try contact through the Family History Library Facebook page (or failing this, with FamilySearch through the Get Help tab on the Home Page of the FamilySearch website, but this could also be unsuccessful).
