The next numbers we see are the numbers next to the names of the parents of this family. These are the record identification numbers, or RINs. Next, look at Asa’s parents. The number next to his father’s name is Asa’s parents’ MRIN. This illustrates how this system cross-references itself. If I’m currently looking at Asa’s family group record and his documents, and I want to find the documents associated with his parents, I just need to look at the MRIN next to his parents.
