Histories of some of the groups who traveled together to Utah have been published. During the 1997 sesquicentennial celebration of the arrival of the pioneers, many new materials were published. Many list the names of those who immigrated. Check the Family History Library Catalog for these newer histories. The Church History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is creating a computer index.
