Pioneer Day in Utah

Each family has their own pioneers.
Those ancestors who came to this land
to build homes and to raise families.
Without them, we wouldn't be here.

Because of them, we have traditions
to follow and a heritage to remember.
I have many Mormon pioneers in my
family who immigrated to Utah.

In fact, I surprised myself by finding out
that most of my second great grandparents
with the exception of three individuals
were converts who immigrated to Utah.

Tell us about your ancestors and where they settled.
