I understand that Jewish religion has two calendars; one is Civil for Kings, childbirth, contracts etc. and second for festivals.
what are the months of these calendars and how they are related datewise with current Christian calendar?

There are different moments for the computing of the beginning of the year and for reckoning years (as in X years of a ruler's kingship or the celebration of the new year for the trees) but the months are the same for both. jewfaq.org/calendar.htm– rosendsCommented Mar 14, 2014 at 10:22

I read somewhere that months are same. So what are the months and their co-relation with Christian calendar?– user426Commented Mar 14, 2014 at 10:31

2@Danno, That qualifies as an answer.– YitzchakCommented Mar 14, 2014 at 14:00

1@Yitzchak though this is not the place to have this conversation, to my mind this qualifies as a downvote worthy request which doesn't reflect the basic research expected of a good question. So I won't give the simple google search as an answer.– rosendsCommented Mar 14, 2014 at 14:04

To quote Rosends (who I assume is Danno):
"There are different moments for the computing of the beginning of the year and for reckoning years (as in X years of a ruler's kingship or the celebration of the new year for the trees) but the months are the same for both."
"Check out the link I posted for a discussion and a list (including approximate correlations -- as a secular calendar is solar and the Jewish one is an adjusted lunar, there is a general correlation but not a strict one."
