Do I have to be in "good standing" in order to get a MRN? May not be worth it if it means I will be hounded to go to church.
Seems like my family has paid (literally) for these records and contributed their family records. I have multiple generations of Mormons on both sides of the family. I am working on a book for my family.... Would appreciate help in understanding my options here.
Every member of the Church has a membership record number. If you don't know what yours is, you'll need to contact your bishop or one of your ward clerks, who can give it to you.

See your ward membership clerk or bishopric member. The number on the temple recommend is another source, but that might be wrong.

By in large, there is no listing of callings or past wards available to the member.

You MRN will be on a temple recommend, or your ward clerk will be able to give it to you.

How do you get your MRN if you can't even get contact information for the ward clerk. I have tried the bishop's phone number online and no response and the ward offices phone number is disconnected.

I'd suggest visiting the ward on Sunday. If you know of any members in the area, you can ask them for the contact information.

You can use the "meetinghouse locator" to find out the phone number of the bishop of the ward where you now live.
Without logging in to LDS.org, click on "My account and ward" on the top right side of the page.
Click on "Meetinghouse Locator" and then enter your address in the search box.
Click on the name of the ward in the box on the left side, and it will give you the bishop's name and phone number.
You can call him and he can help you recover your membership number.

My MRN is packed away at my parents house after I moved to a new house. They live quite far away, and my baptism and membership records are in a safe box. But I'm really trying to join the Branford Fl, ward, and was trying to get it the fastest way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless all of you.

If you can log in to your LDS Account, and if your LDS Account is connected to your MRN, you can sign in to your LDS Account, then click on "My Account and Ward", then "Account Settings", then "Membership".

If you plan to have your membership record moved to your new ward, the ward membership clerk can move your records with only your full name and your date of birth. Once the record is moved (takes at most a few seconds), the clerk will be able to see your MRN.
