Marcia, I went to the LDS site (www.familysearch.org) but could not find the document in question. Usually the M prior to a number is a batch number for the LDS listings. I do not know what a batch number refers to. The second number could be a microfilm number. I placed it in their search engine and it does not reference a Geiger file. So maybe that is a national archives microfilm number. If the M is a batch number from the LDS, you can contact them from the site and see if it refers to one of their numbers. I know my ancestor was on that list and I found the microfilm at the Georgia state archives but I never tried to cross reference the numbers. Maybe if you research Ohio microfilms from the LDS or National Archives of Ohio state archives you can find the original documents.
