== What is in This Collection? ==  
== What is in This Collection? ==  
The foundation for the Nauvoo project was laid in 2011, and the website launched in 2012. The BYU Center for Family History and Genealogy is working to identify the residents of the Nauvoo, Illinois, area from 1839 to 1846, follow them over time, and document their later lives. There are still significant historical questions about Nauvoo that have never been answered. The data from this project will provide a much more accurate determination of the population of Nauvoo, and because the people will be followed over time, it will reveal how many of the Saints remained with the Mormons and how many left the church at the time of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith or at the time of their exodus to Utah. This project will help determine mortality rates among the pioneers, as well as how many crossed the plains or remained behind.
The [http://nauvoo.byu.edu/ Nauvoo Community Project] was started by the Brigham Young University [https://cfhg.byu.edu Center for Family History and Genealogy] to identify residents of Nauvoo, Illinois from 1839 to 1846. The data in this collection on FamilySearch is periodically updated, but more frequent updates can be found on the project's [http://nauvoo.byu.edu/Search.aspx homepage].
 
In addition to answering historical questions, the Nauvoo Community Project will produce quality genealogical documentation for the lives of early LDS Church members who lived in Nauvoo. The Center's project is being entered into a searchable database where research is available online to genealogists and historians. Original sources are being used to uniquely identify the residents, and links are being created to online images of censuses, death certificates, photos of grave markers, the Overland Pioneer Trail database, and much more. The database contains links to numerous primary source documents which provide high quality information to all site visitors.  
 
This is an on-going project. If you do not find your family members who lived in Nauvoo, be sure to return to the site, since more residents are added daily.
 
This index will include the residents of Nauvoo, Illinois, from 1839 to 1846. Wherever possible, each resident will be documented from birth to death in the records of the time.
