The ''IGI'' is an index of temple ordinances of deceased persons. When names are submitted to a temple and after each completed temple ordinance, names are updated in the ''IGI''. If a person was born 110 years ago or more, or the person was married 95 years ago or more, or if their records have been in the ''Deceased Membership Records File'', their information should appear on the ''IGI.'' We can access the ''IGI'' at ''www.familysearch.org'' by selecting the ''Search'' tab and then''International Genealogical Index,'' on the lefthand side of the screen.

Information is entered into the ''IGI'' as it was submitted to the temple, so some of the information may be incomplete or inaccurate. It is also possible for a person to have more than one record in the''IGI'', with slightly different details, if his or her work was done at different times by different people.
