Subject: Possible indexes to assist research into Government officials in Pondicherry around 1690-1699


Hi,

I was researching indexes which might help my wife's research. I am getting a 404 on the one at the French Institute at Pondicherry, though I have already emailed them for advice.

I wonder whether you could guide me to sources that might be able to help. the area of research is outlined below.


My wife Katy is travelling from Scotland to Pondicherry next month.

She understands that her direct ancestor Daniel De Lacherois was a Government official, possibly Governor, in Pondicherry in the period 1690-1699. 


I wondered if you could connect her with a historian with knowledge of that period. Or could she arrange to come and see what records might exist in the library?
