Roster

       The members of the Donner Party are listed both by family or group (first table) and by individual (second table) below. For more information about Donner Party members, click on the individual or group names.
       In the informational pages, Donner Party members’ names are given in italic type to distinguish them from other individuals and to clarify their relationships with others in the group.
       Ages are calculated as of July 31, 1846, the day the Donner Party set out on Hastings Cutoff, and are reckoned from known dates of birth wherever possible. Estimated ages are given in brackets; uncertain ages are also marked ?, and unknown ages are given as [?].
       Although the information in the genealogical section is as accurate as possible, errors will undoubtedly slip in. These pages will be updated and corrected as new information becomes available. Readers are invited to send corrections, comments, or questions to Kristin Johnson.
       For information about the rescuers of the Donner Party, see the Rescuers page.
