FIBIS member in Colombo, Sri Lanka

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

FIBIS member Jerry Wraith is in Colombo, Sri Lanka until Feb 27th 2011. Are there any FIBIS members in Sri Lanka whom he could contact with a view of setting up a research group which will transcribe Birth’s, Death’s and Marriages in Ceylon? These were not apparently sent back to the UK  and are therefore not held in the Oriental and India Office records in the British Library. In addition, they do not appear to have been filmed by the LDS.

Please contact Jerry by e-mail on jerrywr@gmail.com
