Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: your going to have to do it all from scratch. its ok, it'll take time, but its worth it. its a common story, sad but true. many of our elders are not able to tell us what, who and where, so dont get discouraged.

here are some links that helped me with indian sites (as well as any other).

cindi's list is awesome; packed with thousands of sites to search databases. i just found Teds, and think it'll help you also. it explains a great deal of info, step by step, and tips.

most of these sites are free to search, but when you need copies of a document, most places charge for it.
