This is also known as the "Crossing the Plains Index." 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. Most of the information has been taken from the Journal History of the Church.

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. 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.
