This is an incomplete but valuable list of the pioneers who crossed the plains before the railroad reached Utah in 1869. It is arranged alphabetically by head of the family.

The new index should be more comprehensive. | Histories of some of the groups who traveled together to Utah have been published.

A number of serial publications by the [http://www.dupinternational.org/ Daughters of Utah Pioneers] include lists of the names of pre-1869 immigrants, names of those who died along the trail, accounts of the journey, and other pioneer information. Many of these were published for the centennial of a group's year of immigration. There is some duplication in these publications and they are listed in order of publication dates. The sources ''Heart Throbs of the West, Treasures of Pioneer History, Our Pioneer Heritage, Lessons, An Enduring Legacy, and Chronicles of Courage'' are cited in [[Utah Biography]]. | A number of serial publications by the [http://www.dupinternational.org/ Daughters of Utah Pioneers] include lists of the names of pre-1869 immigrants, names of those who died along the trail, accounts of the journey, and other pioneer information.
