Missing an Ancestor? – look in India!

Missing an Ancestor? – look in India!

Over 3 million Britons were in the Indian subcontinent from 1650 until 1947.  If you cannot find an ancestor it is quite possible that you find them in India.  Occupations include military, railwaymen, engineers, surveyors, missionaries shipping, colonial service, fortune hunters, and in some cases families and servants.  Trade through the Honourable East India Company, established by Queen Elizabeth in 1600, and conflicts such as the Indian Mutiny took many Britons to India.

Elaine will share her expertise in searching for relatives in India and the resources available.  She will also present a family story with interesting connections to the subcontinent.
