PLATT FAMILY RECORDS CENTER, New Harmony, UT 84757

As a professional genealogist of over 40 years, I have developed a large collection of records on Latin America, Early Latter-day Saints, Southern Utah Familes, and Ancient Genealogical History. I currently have over 3,000 books and other extensive collections in the archive, which I am presently turning over to Southern Utah University, Special Collections.

Family Collections include the following Utah Families: Platt (SW Southern Utah), Leavitt (Intermountain West); Huntsman (three branches in Central Utah, Southern Utah, and Arizona; Lyman (Intermountain West); and Perkins (Southwestern and Southeastern Utah and Wales); the Ralston Family of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other contiguous states is available in the form of a two-volume manuscript, which took years to find, but is finally available in computerized format for anyone interested. The Ralstons form a branch of the Huntsman Family.

Early Latter-day Saints Collection contains over 300 volumes with a 25,000 name index. As a sealed descendant of Joseph Smith, Jr., I have extensive information on his family.

Spanish Collection contains records on all of Latin America's countries.

World Genealogical History: I am the author of The World Book of Generations, which gives a detailed, documented study of the earliest families of the world and how they dispersed.

I will develop this page further as time permits. In the meantime feel free to contact me on specific questions.
