Hello List Further to my email below I have been sent the following link from an Indian website, an article called "Shimla: Manual record-keeping that's eye-popping efficient" dated March 2013, about a brother and sister who obtained copies of the birth registration records of their grandparents from the Shimla Municipal Corporation http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=166043 or http://tinyurl.com/mrfss35 So it appears to be possible!
