Changes

To find out details of microfilms which have been digitised, use the '''[https://familysearch.org/catalog-search FamilySearch Library catalogue]'''. Additionally there is now a Catalogue link on each Location page (introduced 2018/03). 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]], or possibly at a Family Search Affiliate Library - check the details in the Catalogue entry for the microfilm number.

'''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 microfilms/digitised microfilms may be found in the Fibiwiki article [[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. If the image is not available on findmypast, and a FamilySearch Centre , or if applicable a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, is not geographically convenient, there is the option to request a copy from the [[British Library]] (fee applies), (which may be the cheapest option for some people, noting that currently (2019/10) at times the India Births, Marriages or Burials images are have not been available at FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries).
