For those who use the Ancestral Quest program, this system is a perfect match. Have you ever wondered what the numbers are next to each individual and marriage? These are the identification numbers associated with the current family. For example, the 1 means that the husband’s Record Identification Number, or RIN is 1. This is his unique number. The number next to his wife is the wife’s RIN. In this case, Eleanor is RIN 28. And finally, the MRIN stands for Marriage Record Identification Number. So Asa and Eleanor’s MRIN is 3. Documents, photographs, and other associated research items that pertain to this couple, would be filed in your notebook behind the tab which is labeled 3.
