[R] Using influence plots and obtaining id numbers

I am a novice R user, and I am having difficulty understanding R's influence
plots. 

I am trying to remove outliers from a particular variable, "sib." I am able
to generate influence plots and further outlier information such as below
(which is a shortened example). For my analyses, I end up excluding the
points R refers to, 7, 18, 26, and 105. However, my question is, how can I
understand which ID numbers these points (7,18,26, and 105) are referring
to? These numbers, 7,18, 26. and 105, are definitely not my study ID
numbers.


> Myoutput<-aov(sib~newgroup1, data=Study1)
> influencePlot(Myoutput) 
[1]   7  18  26 105
> influence.measures(Myoutput)
