Bringing Your Utah Pioneer Legacy to Life



The Sons of the Utah Pioneers has a beautiful and amazing magazine the I highly recommend everyone subscribe to receive. The SUP link will take you there. You will not be sorry.

If you are interested in learning more about Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP), you can explore the DUP Website or see where there are "Camps" in your area here.

If you are in the Mesa, AZ area you can contact me at peggyashaz@hotmail.com about joining camps in this area. I have served on Company Boards and Local Camps as the historian for most of the 19 years I have been a member.

After viewing the PowerPoint and learning how to determine your pioneer ancestry, let me know how many pioneers you have in the comments!

I have 32 Utah Pioneers, my children have 50, and my grandchildren have 72.

 How many do you have? Let us know in the comments.
