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. | The ''IGI'' is an index of temple ordinances of deceased persons.
