How to link models via _id in mongoos?

Question

Mongoose

Scheme of names [{ _id: 523423, name: николай }]
Scheme of family names [{ _id: 123, family:1, member: 523423}]
How can I get the names of family members through the mongoose if I only know the family number?

Another question is whether it makes sense to use Mongo with this database organization (or to organize data this way for Mongo).
