Genealogy is a fast growing and popular hobby around the world. Records are being released on various family history websites on a daily basis. What might have been almost impossible to find on-line five years ago, is a lot more accessible.

If you are just starting out and have a general interest, try the Latter Day Saints website
www.familysearch.org

If you have an interest in Indian related family history, take a look at www.fibis.org

There are plenty of other websites that can help you, take a look at my Links page for further details and ideas.

A great source of information can be newspapers.  A number of subscription websites have newspapers and publications as part of the membership but here are a couple of links that are free to view that may well help you.

Hong Kong old newspapers

Australian Digital

Remember, even if the newspaper isn't from your home town or even country, do remember that many events were picked up and recorded in other newspapers. I have found a number of interesting facts regarding India and Asia in the UK and US online publications.

Recent Updates

The whole website is a recent update with many new additions, particularly on the various graves listing pages, browse through the graves and memorial links above or use the search box below.

Memorials are being added all the time, such as the Armenian graves at Surat, now completed. To compliment this page there is also a separate Surat page to highlight the UNESCO World Heritage week in November 2012 where the Surat Science Museum chose to show these historically important graves in an exhibition.

Photographs of the Armenian graves in Agra will be coming soon
