1. Re: [India-L] Passenger Lists [1]
Hi folks Nick Forrest posted an enquiry about passenger lists. This comes up regularly on the Mariners and Ships lists - no real chance of finding the passengers post 1858, especially between India and Aus/NZ, unless the shipping company records are available OR whether the various Aus states kept records OR the passengers are listed in newspapers. There are a number of shipping sites which have details of passenger lists together with some of the Aus genealogy sites. Also try www.pcug.org.au~/dnum/ whic

Hello listers, I am sure you know about this site but just in case...I came across it the other day and what a wealth of information. It may take you a while to sort through it all but well worth it. Happy Hunting Heather Malone California USA
3. Re: [India-L] Burma Campaign 1857 [1]
Hello Eleanore, One of the main reasons that the Madras sepoys went to overseas expeditions was that the Bengal Sepoy beleived that he risked losing his caste if he travelled over the sea. Bengal Sepoys were largely Hindu and this belief caused mutinies and unrest on several occasions. Madrassi Sepoys do not seem to have minded to the same extent.

4. Re: [India-L] Female Asylums [1]
Ah, the search for full blooded Indian ancestors seems to be disappearing over the horizon. More research seems to show that many British merchants and soldiers married Portuguese, Dutch and French mixed women and not full-blooded Indians. And regarding coercion. Yes, most women were told who to marry and had to obey first their fathers and then their husbands. It was even part of the marriage vow. This was only omitted in the early 70's. There was no divorce per se with exceptions, of course. If a m

7. [India-L] Sinclair-Roberts [1]
Hello everyone! I am trying to trace my grandparents and relatives from India. Unfortunately I have only patchy information. What I have is: My Grandfather (Unknown first name) Sinclair-Roberts or possibly Sinclair was a middle name. Served with the British army in India, settled in India ~1920. Lived in or near Lahore as a member of the Catholic community. Married an Indian, name unknown, (only referred to as Nana Roberts) and had eight (?) children, mostly boys. Fought in WWII in India as did the eldes
8. [India-L] Calcutta High Court Records 1818 [1]
Folks, I have created a very basic webpage which lists the names from the index to the Calcutta High Court records of 1818. The records are part of the Mukherjee Collection at the University of Western Sydney, which Sylvia Murphy has told us about. The High Court records are mostly wills. The URL is: http://users.rootsweb.com/~indwgw/Calcutta1818.htm Regards, Cathy Day of Canberra, Australia Family History in India website : http://www.ozemail.com.au/~clday/

11. Re: [India-L] Hastings Family [1]
Hello Pat and Nick, And the perhaps our Tony Fuller might suggest ... there's always The Teach Yourself History Series. . Seriously though, I got considerable mileage and drew great interest from reading one such book, first printed the just at the time of India's Independence and perhaps read by others with some controversy. It dissects the character and lives of Warren Hastings and a number of his contemporaries, as it does the character of India's changing face under the British Raj: "War
12. [India-L] Indo-Briton [1]
Publicly I must thank Jill Grey for her wonderful description of her family and the hilarious story of the 'poor old chap supervising baptisms...' INDIA-L is my favourite list (am I allowed to say that?) because each day brings, knowledge often associated with humour, and unbiased discussions about issues that could be difficult. I love it! Yvonne in the sunburnt country. :)))
13. Re: [India-L] Group Photograph Officers Simla 1874 [1]
David, It would help to have at least an approximate date. My guess would be 1880s and 'Therigen' would probably be one of the THESIGERs.

15. Re: [India-L] The Anglo-Indian Debate ..Isis Unveiled!!! [1]
Mandeep - It is my belief that perhaps this thread is no longer relevant to this group, remembering its name - Rootsweb. We have a happy discussion group of people from many backgrounds. It would be a pity if 'politics' in any form should intrude and upset the harmony that is such a valued feature; there are groups enough for that type of discussion if any of us wish to participate. I was tempted to reply to one or two points in your post to Matthew, but I think it best if we all refrain from further disc
16. Re: [India-L] The Anglo-Indian Debate ..Isis Unveiled!!! [1]
Mendeep - Although I was born in the country, having left at the age of seven months I can not claim that Indian History, either ancient or modern, is a particularly strong point of mine. However, I did take the precaution of checking my thoughts in Mr. Gates's Encarta Encyclopaedia before making my reply. As it is an American product I thought it might take a stance that is more 'anti-Colonial' than pro. (I can never fathom this out, America having been one of the most active colonial powers of the C19th
17. Re: [India-L] women's surnames [1]
Hi List, The question of surnames is of relatively recent origin. Does anyone know when surnames became de rigeur in India? I am curious because there were places where a surname or family name was superfluous until the Europeans with their surname mindset came along and introduced the concept. In Samoa children were given a name by which they were known until and if they acquired a chiefly title whereupon they were known by the title. As an example, my brother-in-law was christened Paulo. When he came

Dear Listers, Have been in the background for the past 12months completeing a diploma. However recalling my surnames in case we have any new members.

My brother in law played in the band. They said the night was excellent. Cheers Franca Callanan Hot Melbourne night

23. [India-L] Apologies [1]
Dear List Further to my poem, Forgotten Children, I believe that I may have given the wrong impression as to who I am, if I did I apologise to all. I myself have never been to India but have learnt about the experiences of my parents and grandparents through stories they have told. Through my family research and history books I have gained an insight into the lives of my ancestors that I hope have helped me to understand the trials put before them. Even though I was born in England in 1965, I am Anglo-In

Hi Joy,and listers, any thoughts are welcome, My Spanish link was back about 1820 When Samuel Blair Hamer married a Donna Rebano of San Sebastian, Samuel & Donna were the grgrandparents of Ella Anna Hamer who married my English grgrandfather.

In fact when my mother first met a Daughter of Ella's, she thought she was a na
