From: http://www.dupinternational.org “A pioneer is an ancestor who came to the Utah Territory/State of Deseret; died crossing the plains; or was born in the Utah Territory/State of Deseret before May 10, 1869, the coming of the railroad. If your ancestor does not fit into this criteria, we will not have a history.

The International DUP History Department collects and preserves the histories of these special ancestors. We presently have about 100,000 pioneer histories on file. Copies of these histories are available to direct descendents and/or DUP paid up members. Costs are $0.25 per page. Minimum charge of $1.00.”

Lunch: At Gateway, Trolley Square or the new soup & sandwich shop in the SW corner of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, ground level.
