The cards are listed alphabetically by the head of the family or group. They usually contain the names of other family members or traveling companions. Each card gives the name of the company, date of arrival in Salt Lake City, or the date the company roster appears in the {{FHL|52638|title-id|disp=Journal History}} (see [[LDS History]]). | |||
