ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS

Editor and compiler of the CD Mormon Immigration Index, (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 2000). This CD links over 90,000 Latter-day Saint passengers on 543 voyages and is augmented by nearly 1,000 first person migrant accounts of their journey from international ports to Nauvoo and the Salt Lake Valley between 18401890.

Editor and compiler of the website http://lib.byu.edu/mormonmigration/index.php To summarize its contents, this website comprises my research on Mormon emigration, immigration, and migration over the past fifteen years. This first stage of development includes all of the material from the Mormon Immigration Index on compact disc (CD-ROM), namely, 543 voyages with about 90,000 Mormon passengers, and over 1,000 first person Latter-day Saint immigrant accounts for the years from 1840 to 1890, as well as additional information to interpret the story of the Mormons immigrating to America during the nineteenth century. In the next phase, I will add the digital scans of the original passenger lists from 1849 to 1932 from European Emigration Records consisting of passengers lists of foreign converts from the British Isles and Scandinavia, with specific records of Latter-day Saints from the Netherlands and Sweden. In addition, the project will provide the extraction material for over 2,000 additional voyages as well as the passenger lists and many additional first person accounts for the entire period of 1840 to 1932.

Recently, several Family Search employees contacted me and made the request to merge my first person immigrant account materials to their site. This will greatly expand the usage (2016)

Icelanders Gather to Utah forthcoming website This website will provide textual and photographic materials collected over the past four years (2016).
