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 the Church History Biographical Database.
