Military records identify millions of individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service. Evidence that an ancestor actually served may be found in family traditions, census records, naturalization records, biographies, cemetery records, and records of veterans’ organizations. Military records can give birth dates, marriage dates, death dates, spouse’s and children’s names, and localities of residence throughout the life of the family. | Military records identify millions of individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service.

''Index to Indiana Enrollments of Soldiers, Their Widows and Orphans, 1886, 1890, and 1894.''Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988''.'' (On 13 Family History Library films beginning with {{FHL|545051|title-id|disp=1556996}}). This index provides the name of the person, the county and township of residence, and the year of enrollment. The records are in order by county, township, then alphabetical by surname. This index is a partial substitute for the 1890 census. The original records are at the Indiana State Archives, and the card index is in the Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library. The index is to the 1886 Enumeration; if it was missing for a township or town, then the 1890 Enumeration was used; if both were missing, the 1894 Enumeration was used. The original enumerations are a second set, with the first set deposited in the Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office. Whenever an enumeration was missing at the Indiana State Archives, the clerk’s copy, if found, was microfilmed and is in the Family History Library. | ''Index to Indiana Enrollments of Soldiers, Their Widows and Orphans, 1886, 1890, and 1894.''Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988''.''
