INDIA

The following are a variety of records relating to India

The following item appears on one card on the India Index at the Society of Genealogists Library, London. It covers three generations and the family could have proved difficult to tie together because the father's birth, marriage and childrens births occur in different places. However a few details about the family have been gathered from other records and researchers whose ancestors settled in Canada.
