The LDS Family History Suite 2 was published in Provo, Utah by Infobases in 1999 and is available at the FamilySearch Library on compact disc no. 205 pt. 1. When searching for Latter-day Saint ancestors there are two useful databases in this CD-ROM collection. Each database is word searchable. When you find a name, you see the actual entry in the context of the book. The two databases are:

Pioneer Heritage Library
Latter-day Saint Vital Records Library

Pioneer Heritage Library

The Pioneer Heritage Library includes some sources that are not available elsewhere. Included in this Library are major sources such as:

Over 10,000 photographs
Biographical sketches
Stories
Diaries and autobiographies
Histories
Early Latter-day Saint newspapers and periodicals
Doctrinal works
Emigration sources
The Utah Historical Quarterly
Membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1830-1848, compiled by Susan Easton Black, at MyHeritage ($)
Guide to Mormon Diaries and Autobiographies by Davis Bitton
The published series of pioneer histories by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers
Encyclopedic History of the Church by Andrew Jenson
History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Joseph Smith

Latter-day Saint Vital Records Library

The Latter-day Saint Vital Records Library includes twelve reference works about the pioneers. Each reference must be searched separately. The majority of the books in this section were compiled by Harvey and Susan Easton Black. It also includes an index to Utah deaths from 1898 to 1905 excluding Salt Lake County.

Then and Now

In the years following the publication of the LDS Family History Suite 2, the sources related to Latter-day Saint research that were included in this collection are beginning to appear in online databases. Some online sources for the records originally included in the LDS Family History Suite 2 are as follows:
