Ohio Genealogical Society - Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal Subject Index

Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal Subject Index

The Ohio Genealogical Society started the Ohio Civil War Genealogy Journal in 1997. Since then, OCWGJ has become an indispensible resource for researching Ohio Civil War soldiers and their families.

This is a subject index to OCWGJ. It does not include every name which has appeared. This index contains the major names, units, and event locations for all articles since the start of OCWGJ.

While there are many ways to search this index, it is important to remember that the more items you add to your search, the more narrow your search will be. Being "too exact" in your search may eliminate articles of interest.
