    Evidence from emigration and genealogical records proves the Eliasson family traveled to Utah in 1863. Although the family doesn't appear in PEF records, Erick takes a plural wife in March 1864 in Utah, prior to the arrival of that season's emigration. Since the family traveled to America on an 1863 ship, this spring 1864 marriage proves that they traveled to Utah in 1863.
