    Default Useful Sites for Research in India

    These are intended to be a few useful sites for research in India. If you know of any other good non commercial sites, please send me the link in a PM and I will add them to the list. This thread is closed to avoid the problem of research queries being tagged on to it.


    Family Search - some useful links

    FIBIS Families in British India – many interesting records in their database, which can be freely searched. There is also a useful Wiki page here.

    British Library India Office

    Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies - some very good links concerning the East India Company

    Gillian Rowland also recommends the Panjab Digital Library. If the link doesn't work, and it doesn't for me, Google it and you will reach the page with the same URL! Computers baffle me sometimes!
