FIBIS Blog
Although there haven’t been many uploads to the FIBIS database for a while, our volunteer transcribers have still been very busy. The lack of data being uploaded was partly due to problems with our software, so we decided to upgrade and move to a new server. The move and upgrade was completed earlier this year and this week we finally have 3,814 new entries in the FIBIS database. The new data comprises of:
- Allahabad, Rajapur Cemetery Part 2 – A further 253 photographs of graves have been uploaded to Rajapur Cemetery as part of our Cemeteries Project
- Asiatic Annual Register 1801
- Civil Appointments – Bengal (115)/Bombay (6)/Madras (46)
- HC Army Promotions – 632
- HC Troops Promotions – 740
- HMR Regiments Promotions – 447
- Asiatic Annual Register 1802 – All Presidencies: Birth (188), Marriage (125), Death (211), Announcements
- Asiatic Annual Register 1802
- Ceylon Military Estab Promotions – 20
