A
list
of
links relating to LDS and Utah Records by Donald Snow.
A Searchable version of the
Deseret News 1850-1898 is
now
online at
the Utah Digital Newspapers web page.
It also includes a search mechanism for births, marriages and
deaths
mentioned in the paper.
Note: not all of these events were recorded in the newspaper.
I have come across a resource that reportedly has 52,000+
references to early LDS members from 1830 to the early Utah
period. The
web site is called Early Latter-day Saints and all you need to
do is
put in a name to find someone. A great online resource for
finding some
information on early LDS members. The web site can be found at
http://earlylds.com
There are two pages related to Winter Quarters. These are
ongoing
projects which
are trying to document the areas and people who lived in and
around the
Kanesville
area prior to and during the migration to Utah. These are works
in
progress and
so check them now and again to find new items that have been
posted.

The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers are moving into the 21st
century by
having their own
web
page
and my
favorite part is the
Pioneer Index wherein you can search on the web page and
order a
pioneer's biography written by children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren of Mormon
pioneers. The web page says there are over 100,000 biographies,
however
I do not know if
all of these have been indexed and put online as of yet.
Note:
You must submit and receive your
biography via the regular mail. No email or phone requests will
be
accepted.
