The Mormon Overland Travel Database, 1847-1868
This is the most complete listing of individuals and companies in which Mormon pioneer emigrants traveled west to Utah from 1847 through 1868. It is an incomplete listing, as rosters have not been found for all companies. It also identifies sources to learn more about the experiences of each company.
You can search for a specific person or you can browse the list of companies alphabetically or chronologically. It also includes trail related excerpts from primary and secondary sources.
You can find the link to this database in our Pioneer Resources/ Research Resources page.

Quote by Reed Farnsworth on www.ksl.com
“Look at your heritage. Now look at my Scandinavian heritage. Now look again at your heritage. Sadly, if your heritage is not Scandinavian, like mine, you may think that Ephraim’s annual Scandinavian Heritage Festival is not for you. But this year’s Scandinavian Heritage Festival gives everyone a chance to be “Scandinavian for a Day,” which is the theme of this year’s festival…. The authenticity of the costumes, weapons, tools, equipment and other paraphernalia make the Pioneer Heritage Company’s pioneer village seem like you have stepped back in time. The “pioneers” at the village not only explain what pioneer life was like, they involve participants in rug making, handcart pulling, muzzle loader shooting, weaving, carpentry, beekeeping, pioneer games and even helping in the kitchen.”
