The numbers you’re referring to are RINs, not Henry numbers. They’re assigned sequentially as you enter individuals in the Family File. MRINs are assigned sequentially as you enter marriages in the Family File.
If you have a specific numbering system you'd like to use for individuals, we recommend that you enter those numbers in the User ID field on the Individual Information edit window. On the views and lists, you can elect to show those numbers instead of RINs/MRINs by going to Options > Customize > View. Thanks for using Legacy.

In order to more easily compare my database and this new one, I would like to re-designate all of the Henry numbers in this new file. In my file I am listed as #1. In the new file, I am listed as #12345. How can I change my designated number to #1 in the new file and have Legacy re-designate all of the other individuals according to the numbering system. This way I would be able to cross check individual #40 in both files to see if the information agrees. Make sense? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
