Missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Missionary records provide information about a member’s missionary service. They also provide genealogical information. To find records of an ancestor’s missionary service see:

This is a card index that lists full-time missionaries set apart up to 1971. It also serves as an index to missionary registers available in the Historical Department—Archive Search Room.
