After the Church was founded in New York, most Church members moved to Ohio. Due to persecution, they moved from Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. Once they were asked to leave Illinois, they moved to Utah. The trail they took to Utah is now called the "Mormon Trail." Once the railroad was completed, converts from Europe and the Eastern U.S. could take a train from New York to Utah.

There were hundreds of different groups of Mormon pioneers traveling the Mormon trail between 1846 and 1870. Following that time, groups continued to take the railroad to Utah. The first of these groups was made up of people living in Nauvoo, Illinois and the surrounding area, and so, they left from there. Subsequent groups came from areas all over the United States, Canada, and Europe. Usually these groups met near St. Louis, Missouri to embark on the trail.

Different years, different routes. You'll probably want to Google "Mormon Trail," for specifics.
