Families In British India Society

The Families In British India Society (FIBIS) is a genealogical organisation which assists people in researching their family history and the background against which their ancestors led their lives in British India.

[1] FIBIS was formed in November 1998 to provide research and social history resources for India from 1600 up to (and even after) Indian Independence in 1947.

It covers the earlier part of the British East India Company's history and provides help and advice on researching it both in England and abroad,[2] and all EIC stations, including those outside the Indian sub-continent.

"[3] FIBIS provides books, journals, online resources and community facilities to assist research into individuals' ancestors and the social structure in which they lived.
