Description:
Among the bloodiest and largest armed conflicts in the modern age, World War One, although primarily a European war, involved United States military units from 1917 to 1918. This database is a massive collection of military records for men who served in the war from Ohio. Originally compiled in 1926, it provides the names for men who served in the army, navy, and marines. In addition to providing the individual's name, it reveals city of residence, unit of service, birth date or age, and other helpful facts. It also contains the location and date of enlistment and discharge information. The names of over 263,000 men are included in the collection. For researchers of Ohio ancestors who may have served in the "Great War," this can be an informative database.

Extended Description: As with any census index, not everyone enumerated on the 1910 census schedules is on the Miracode indexes, as some names were missed or misread by the indexer. It is especially advisable for researchers to continue a search in the actual schedules even though a name fails to appear in an index.
Census records can be found at the LDS Family History Library and many genealogical libraries. In addition, Ancestry.com offers scanned images online from the 1790 U.S. Federal Census to the 1920 U.S. Federal Census. These records contain more than 450 million names and are part of Ancestry.com's Images Online initiative. Ancestry has begun an innovative project to reconstruct the vast amount of information lost when a 1921 fire destroyed nearly the entire 1890 census. The census substitute is the largest project of its kind and will fill the void that was created when the fire destroyed insight into an entire generation's family demographics, occupations and much more. Ancestry.com is using remaining fragments of the original 1890 census, 1890 special veterans schedules, several Indian tribe censuses for years surrounding 1890, state censuses (1885 or 1895), city and county directories, alumni directories and voter registration documents to construct a census substitute. More than 20 million records have been identified for inclusion in the census substitute.
Miracode is a slightly modified version of the Soundex indexing format.
Miracode and Soundex are indexes based on the pronunciation of a name, rather than the name's spelling. Surnames are coded and then arranged numerically by their codes. Miracode was employed only in 1910 and for the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
