Genealogy Journey's Podcast #14: Pioneer Day

"Pioneers Crossing the Plains of Nebraska" by C.C.A. Christensen via Wikipedia

Today is a unique Utah holiday, Pioneer Day. It's the day that the first Mormon pioneers who entered the Salt Lake Valley are honored. It's a good time for all of us to consider the pioneers in our own family tree.
