    1. Re: [INDIA] British BMD in India post 1947
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: maureenr5 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.asia.india.general/2546.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Indian records on the LDS beta Family Search site are described as follows: India Births and Baptisms, 1786-1947. India Deaths and Burials, 1719-1948 India Marriages, 1792-1948. The description adds "A few records may be earlier or later". This is all I have to go on. I have not seen any documentation about which British Library records are contained in the LDS beta records, in spite of trying to find out. Someone advised the records do include the N/5 series, (in addition to the N/1-3 series), this was found out through looking at the microfilms, but to date these are the only "extra" records I am aware of. Your contact at your local centre may be correct about the post 1947 records being included, but I do not know. I would ask about the source of the information you have been given. I think a lot of people would be interested to know exactly what Indian records have been included on the LDS beta site.
