Tracing Your British Indian Ancestors gives a fascinating insight
into the history of the subcontinent under British rule and into
the lives the British led there. It also introduces the reader to
the range of historical records that can be consulted in order to
throw light on the experience of individuals who were connected to
India over the centuries of British involvement in the country.

the British Library India Office Records and The National Archives.
She also covers the records of the armed forces, the civil service
and the railways, as well as religious and probate records, and
other sources available for researchers. At the same time, she
provides a concise and vivid social history of the British in
India: from the early days of the East India Company, through the
Mutiny and the imposition of direct British rule in the
mid-nineteenth century, to the independence movement and the last
days of the Raj.Her book will help family historians put their
research into an historical perspective, giving them a better
understanding of the part their ancestors played in India in the
past.
