I should add, that I have found the use of RINs, and MRINs, NOT HELPFUL! Everything gets messed up as one adds new people, or deletes duplicates created when more information on an individual is found, or as was pointed out when new children are found, or when melding files together, and all the other things one does to mess up the RIN numbers.

The ahentafel numbers were over 30-40 characters long. It was not the only system I used before I bought my first computer, but when the programs created RINs, I no longer needed to deal with them anymore.

Also, the numbers can get pretty long, although the longer the number, the less related the people likely are to you.... How have you found this to work with Legacy? Do you give everyone this number for their ID number?
