List of Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

General Authorities of the Church Research Guide

Several resources were used in linking members of the Quorum of the Twelve to a biography. For several of the early Apostles, the Joseph Smith Papers People of the Time profiles were linked. Each Apostle who later became a President of the Church is linked to his biography in the corresponding Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual. Entries from the Brigham Young University Religious Studies Center have also been used.1

For further study we suggest using either the Pioneer Database or the Missionary Database. Several of the early Apostles (or before many became Apostles) traveled westward to Utah in pioneer companies. The Missionary Database is a large resource that covers most Apostles on this list, as several members of the Quorum served missions.
