The [ | The [https://winterquarters.byu.edu/links/index.html Pioneer Research Group] based in the Winter Quarters (Omaha, Nebraska) and Kanesville (Council Bluffs, Iowa) are gathering the names of pioneers who lived in the more than 90 settlements of Latter-day Saints who were in the Middle Missouri Valley and across the state of Iowa during the years of 1846 – 1868. Their emphasis began with the gathering of names of members of the [[Iowa, United States Genealogy|Iowa]] Branches, Winter Quarters Wards and those buried in the Winter Quarters Cemetery but not limited to that specific time period or area. | ||
The names in the database are mostly early Latter-day Saints. Where their parents’ information was available it is included. Families are linked together as well. We know it isn't complete and we will continue to correct and add to it. We also know, realistically, that absolute completeness and accuracy is impossible in a project of this magnitude. Still, we feel this is a major help to historians and family historians. | The names in the database are mostly early Latter-day Saints. Where their parents’ information was available it is included.
