The information included in the '''India Office Family History Search''' website is taken from a '''card index''' hitherto available only at the British Library. The card index was compiled by members of staff at the India Office Records from the mid-1970s onwards to meet the growing interest in genealogy. Users should note that probably '''less than 10% of the biographical sources available in the India Office Records was incorporated into the index''', although future additions to this website are planned. As the biographical information included in this website is only a small part of the total available in the archives, users may need to search elsewhere in the records – see India Office Records: Family History Sources. | The information included in the '''India Office Family History Search''' website is taken from a '''card index''' hitherto available only at the British Library.
