• The first documentation to place Almerin in Utah is his divorce from Louiza Williams in Salt Lake City on 8 September 1855.  We do not know the date of their marriage.  His name does appear on the 1850 Illinois census. He married Ophelia Ricardo in Louisiana, USA on 9 February 1852, so we know that he arrived in Utah between 1852 and 1855. Further research is needed to determine the year of his travel to Utah and the name of the pioneer company with which he traveled.

  In 1857, he only traveled with company from Iowa City to Florence then went back to assist more immigrants. He did eventually come all the way to Utah in 1857 because he was rebaptized in the 13th ward on 12 December 1857.
