Hi, for a start, you could look at http://www.historyofceylontea.com/ where you will find copies of all sort of almanacs (Ferguson's directories) In my experience, it is virtually impossible to obtain birth certificates from Sri-Lanka (or I have not yet found the way...). As somebody remarked, a few more details would help! Good luck, Jean Ferran. Researching Thomas family in Ceylon.

It is was primarily a hillstation of Sri Lanka/Ceylon. Besides researching through the LDS, does anyone have any information on Nuwara Eilya. My paternal grandfather and his sister were born there. Unfortunately a trip to London to visit the OIOC is not possible financially nor is paying a researcher. Any ideas would be appreciated. E.
