:To find an individual's draft card, it helps to know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged by county and by draft boards within the county. Individuals are listed alphabetically within each draft board. Most counties had only one board; large cities had more. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you determine the board number if he lived in a large city. Special maps of Cleveland and Cincinnati have been prepared, to show the draft board registration district boundaries.


World War I was a global war fought on multiple continents with several nations involved. Over four million men and women served from the United States.  
The cities are listed in alphabetical order by name of the city.

On 16 September 1940, President Roosevelt signed into law the first peacetime Selective Service Act. During WWII, the Selective Service System conducted '''six draft registrations'''; these records are held collectively in two groupings at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, MO. The registrations are part of Record Group 147 [https://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/147.html Records of the Selective Service System.] From December, 1942 to August, 1945 no enlistments were allowed.

Many more useful sources are listed in the Family History Library Catalog under:


On April 27, 1942, the Selective Service conducted the fourth of six draft registrations related to WWII. The "World War II Selective Service Draft Cards: Fourth Registration, 1942" is often referred to as the “Old Man’s Registration” or the “Old Man’s Draft" because it included men with a date of birth from April 28, 1877 to February 16, 1897. Since there is overlap in the WWI and WWII Selective Service registration, men born in the years 1877 to 1900 may have registered twice and have both WWII and WWI draft records.

The U.S. Military Records Research Page provides more information on federal military records and search strategies.

Forts[edit | edit source]

Forts dotted Ohio as settlers, Native Americans and Europeans each struggled for their place on Ohio’s lands. These log forts played an instrumental part of Ohio’s early development and each has it’s own unique tale to tell.

Wars[edit | edit source]

Revolutionary War (1775-1783)[edit | edit source]

Although Ohio did not exist as a state during the time of the Revolutionary War, a man born between 1730 and 1765 who lived in Ohio later may have been granted Ohio land for his service for another state or for the Continental Army.

Patriot Records[edit | edit source]

  • Genealogical Abstracts of the Revolutionary War Pension Files [1]May give a veteran's name, age, birth date, marriage date, residence, names of relatives, unit, and service dates and places.

Pension Files[edit | edit source]

The 1835 Pension Roll for Ohio, which includes Revolutionary War pensioners and heirs of War of 1812 casualties is available online at Ancestry.com ($).

National Archives[edit | edit source]

If you prefer to order a copy of the original records from the National Archives, use NATF Form 80. This form is available from the National Archives,at the nearest federal office building or online.

Land Warrants[edit | edit source]

Rosters[edit | edit source]

Rosters have been published for soldiers who lived in Ohio and are buried there, such as:

  • Official Roster of the Soldiers of the American Revolution Buried in the State of Ohio. [4]
  • The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the American Revolution Who Lived in the State of Ohio [5]
  • Official Roster III, Soldiers of the American Revolution Who Lived in the State of Ohio [6]

War of 1812 (1812-1815)[edit | edit source]

The War of 1812

Rosters[edit | edit source]

Microfilmed and published rosters are available at the Family History Library. These include:

  • Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812. 1916 [7]
  • Index to the Grave Records of Soldiers of the War of 1812 Buried in Ohio [8]

Mexican War (1846-1848)[edit | edit source]

Rosters[edit | edit source]

For published rosters of Ohio soldiers who served in the Mexican War, see:

  • Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War with Mexico, 1846-1848 [9]
  • Official Roster of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866, and in the War with Mexico, 1846-1848. [10]
  • Index to Mexican War (1846) Records at the Ohio State Archives [11] Consists of microfilm of a card file at the Ohio State Archives which gives the name of each soldier's military unit.
  • Ohio in the Mexican War [12] Includes a section that tells when and where a company was raised and lists many of the officers in those companies. The Library does not have volume 21.

Civil War (1861-1865)[edit | edit source]

127th Ohio Volunteer Infantry

See Ohio in the Civil War for information about Ohio Civil War records, web sites, etc. with links to articles about the Ohio regiments involved in the Civil War. The regimental pages often include lists of the companies with links to the counties where the companies started. Men in the companies often lived in the counties where the companies were raised. Knowing a county can help when researching more about the soldiers and their families.

The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System allows name searching for soldiers. The result set gives the regiments for the soldiers. Then you can check the Wiki regiment pages to determine counties. Often knowing the counties that had men in a regiment will help you determine if a soldier was your ancestor.

Spanish-American War (1898)[edit | edit source]

State Wide Rosters[edit | edit source]

Muster-in and muster-out rolls are on 31 microfilms at the Family History Library.

  • The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War with Spain, 1898-1899 [13].
  • Index to Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War with Spain, 1898-1899 [14]
  • Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio. Muster In and Muster Out Rolls in the Spanish American War: . . . [15]
  • Ohio Soldiers in the War with Spain, 1898-99 [16] Original data: Compiled under the direction of Frank B. Willis, Governor, Charles Q. Hildebrant, Secretary of State, and Benson W. Hough, Adjutant General. The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War with Spain, 1898-99. Ft. Leavenworth, KS, USA: C.A.R.L. Library, 1916.

By 1890, about 40 percent of the Civil War veterans were members of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). The descriptive books of each GAR post usually indicate each member's name, age, rank, birthplace, residence, occupation, and enlistment and discharge information. Records of GAR posts and of other veteran organizations may be found in various libraries and archives throughout Ohio.

World War I (1917-1918)[edit | edit source]

Registration Cards[edit | edit source]

World War I draft registration cards for men ages 18 to 45 may list each registrant's address, birth date, birthplace, race, nationality, citizenship, and next of kin. Not all registrants served in the war.

  • Ohio, World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918. [17]
To find an individual's draft card, it helps to know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged by county and by draft boards within the county. Individuals are listed alphabetically within each draft board. Most counties had only one board; large cities had more. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you determine the board number if he lived in a large city. Special maps of Cleveland and Cincinnati have been prepared, to show the draft board registration district boundaries.

The cities are listed in alphabetical order by name of the city.

  • List of World War One Draft Board Maps [18]has a copy of this draft board registration district boundaries map.

Service cards for Navy (eight films), Marine Corps (three films), out-of-state (four films), and regular service (76 films) are on films at the Family History Library. The cards containing the names and information on over 200,000 soldiers have also been published in:

  • The Official Roster of Ohio Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the World War, 1917-1918 [19]
  • World War I - Service Cards of the State of Ohio [20]

Service records for World War I and later wars are at the Adjutant General's Office (State House, Columbus, OH 43215).

World War II (1941-1945)[edit | edit source]

Dead and Missing Soldiers[edit | edit source]

Lists of dead and missing soldiers who served during World War II, arranged alphabetically by county.

  • World War II Honor List of Dead and Missing - State of Ohio [21]

Additional Records[edit | edit source]

  • World War II Honor List of Dead and Missing - State of Ohio. [22]A concerted effort has been made to locate the Ohio gravesites of veterans from all pre-1945 wars. The cards are arranged alphabetically.
  • Roster of Soldiers of the Ohio National Guard, 1874-1917. [23]
  • The History of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Xenia, Ohio [24]This does not include the records.

Military service records are also found in the office of each county auditor and county recorder. The Family History Library has microfilms of discharge papers, dating from the Civil War to 1920 (some to 1970), for about half the counties in Ohio.

Prominent Ohio Veterans[edit | edit source]
