• Dominico was in Iowa on 26 June 1850, likely with the intent to stay for at least some months. The first documentation to place him in Utah is a rebaptism in the Salt Lake Stake and a newspaper ad in the 3 April 1852 Deseret News. This indicates that he traveled to Utah in 1851. Further research is needed to identify the company he traveled with.
