I have been researching for nearly 10 years and started in Legacy by entering the people from a hand-written tree compiled by a relative. Because of that, one of my 6th Great Grandfather is number 1 but another of my 6th Great Grandfathers I only found a month ago so his RIN is 4517. (I happen to be RIN 221.) If you want "important people" to have low numbers are you going to renumber every time your research throws up another direct-line ancestor? I use RINs as part of the UserID and use the RIN or UserID to identify everyone in documents or pictures and in file names. As long as I use the right number it doesn't matter a jot to me whether the number is high, low or in-between. -- Jenny M Benson Jenny, Marg Strong was actually referring to MRINs, but the principle is the same, and I totally agree with you.
