With some hard work we can reach the 10,000 Mormon Pioneer profile identified by the end of this year. We currently have found 8,814 pioneers.

You can help by adding your 1852 pioneers to the project or by adding any of your pioneers to their respective projects. You also help by looking up pioneers listed here: http://www.lds.org/churchhistory/library/pioneercompanysearch/ and seeing if they already have profiles on geni.

There are also lots of spouses and children of pionners that were them self Mormon pioneers that don't yet have profiles on geni. Please help where you can and we can reach 10,000 by the end of the year.

Ronald Hanson,

Thanks for the info on your Flexhaug tie into the Kimball family by marriage. Its been fun to see the Heber C. Kimball family grow on a collaborative family history site like geni as more descendants hook in.

Heber Chase Kimball, Apostle, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, born in 1801, now has 768 descendants on geni although these 768 represent just a small fraction of his total descendants which in reality must number in the thousands.

To put that into perspective President Millard Fillmore, born 1 year before Kimball only has 2 descendants on geni and President Franklin Pierce born 3 years after Kimball only has 3 descendants listed on geni. That hundreds of descendants from multiple family lines of Kimball have collaborated and come together on geni is quite an accomplishment.
