The International Genealogical Index (IGI) is a database of genealogical records, compiled from a variety of different sources, and maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Originally created in 1969, the index was intended to help track the performance of temple ordinances for the deceased. The IGI contains many duplicate names, so any data retrieved from it must be checked carefully. This is facilitated by the fact that every record contains information on who submitted it and when.
