I also use the MRIN...really like it...but have one question. I am unsure where to put some documents. It is clear where unmarried children's docs go....but what about say death docs??? My ggrandmother married Louis, had my grandmother, Mary. Ggrandmother later married Bob and had more children. Where does ggrandmother's death doc go....with my direct line or with her later family??? I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance for input.
