Avotaynu: The International Review of Jewish Genealogy is a magazine that focuses on Jewish genealogy and family history published by Avotaynu Inc. (New Haven, Connecticut). It was established in 1985. An index to the first 24 volumes is available. The magazine gets its name from the Hebrew word, avotaynu, which literally means "our fathers," but has come to mean "our ancestors."

The Consolidated Jewish Surname Index (CJSI) is Avotaynu's metasearch engine which points to 42 different specialized data banks.

Avotaynu Inc. is also publishing books on the same topic (see homepage).
