Marriages in the Nauvoo Region 1839-1845

Compiled by Susan Easton Black, 1981.

“The purpose of this study was to (1) identify early saints marrying in the Nauvoo region from 1839-1845 who had not received their temple ordinances, and (2) complete the temple work for these saints. Unfortunately, as I identified each saint, I found that some of the statistical information recorded by the saints and their posterity was inaccurate, conflicting, or incomplete. Where possible, research was done to alleviate this problem. The compiled information was gathered and used as a secondary source for submitting names for temple work to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Genealogical Department. As a result of this study, approximately 450 ordinances were performed by the faculty of Religious Instruction at Brigham Young University.”
