Search for Mormon Pioneer Companies

For home evening we spent 2 hours looking up which of our ancestors were Mormon pioneers that crossed the plains between 1847 and 1868. This cool Mormon pioneer database is an easy way to search which company they came in and at what time. It also gives a little history about the company. I love database queries that are available to everyone. I even submitted some info and some old lady already emailed me back that she updated the database. There are some people who I know crossed but are not in it, but for the most part, it's good.

Look in your golden McOmber book and use the info there to get more details. We have over 8 ancestors who crossed the plains
Cox, Slafter, Janes, Carson, Griffith, Stout (Alan and Amanda)
Both sides of McOmber families left Nauvoo and crossed the plains to Utah. Now, how to I get back to the Blog?
