Utah Overland Pioneer Ancestor List

The List of our ancestors that traveled by foot, wagon and handcart over the plains to Utah during 1847 to 1868.  Information obtained from family search.org, the lds church history overland travel database and family history records.

After 1868 the railroad was complete and made travel/immigration to Utah much easier.  I'll also be compiling a list of our ancestors that arrived in Utah by rail.

I'm in awe of these strong, dedicated and faithful Latter Day Saints that leave such a rich legacy for us to follow in
