MRIN File for John Louis Egts, by Donald E. Braden:
Google: MRIN and RIN • The Marriage Identification Number or MRIN (for short) ties the family together. Every individual has their own unique record ID number (RIN), but it is the family group record number where everyone is tied together. • The H:1 means that the husband’s record identification number, or RIN is 1. • The number next to the W is the wife’s RIN. • M stands for marriage.
2024: Researched and compiled by Catherine (Clemens) Sevenau, a distant shirt-tail relation: the father of my sons was the son of Louis Dunand Sevenau. Louis’ parents were Ernest Eugene Sevenau & Edna [Clement] Kellogg. Edna’s 2nd husband was Milo Bailey Kellogg with whom she had two children, the older being Leo Yates Kellogg. Leo was married three times and his 3rd wife was Joan Marie Egts. This is Joan’s line, which means I’m six degrees of separation.
Thank you to Elsie [Heather] (Kellogg) Reed, for her generous contribution of family photos and her maternal Egts history. Heather is the daughter of Leo Yates Kellogg & Joan Marie Egts, the granddaughter of John Louis Egts & Anna Elsie Schultz, the great-granddaughter of Thomas Henry Egts & Augusta Sophia Brunner, and the great-great-granddaughter Gerke Siebels “George” Egts & Gretke Marie Tammen.
Also a bow of gratitude to Lauren Egts, the great-great-granddaughter of Howard Alexander Egts, Sr. & Mary Virginia Alexander, who provided a vast amount of early history, documents, and newspaper clippings for this Egts line.
And thank you to Gaylen Towt for her photos and contributions, excellent editing, and for updating her Ancestry page to reflect these posts. Gaylen is the great-great-granddaughter of Gerke Siebels “George” Egts & Gretke Marie Tammen, great-granddaughter of George Wilhelm Egts & Martha Jane Cline, granddaughter of Anna Dale Egts & Carlos Goodrich, and the daughter of Russell & Lorraine Goodrich.
