What numbering system do most people use (RIN, User ID, AFN, Ahnentafel, more?).
Do people use more than one (i.e. RIN and AFN)? I like the way Ahnentafel doubles each generation (me #1, dad #2, mom #3 (2+1), grampa #4, grandma #5 (4+1)), but I think to use this system in Legacy, I would have to (at the very beginning) set up generations (and generations) of "unknown" ancestors to ensure when I finally learned about that particular ancestor that they had the right Ahnentafel number. When I first started out I was sloppy and didn't really see this project for what it was. So I'm creating a new file just focusing on my ancestors. Once I get them cleaned up, I'll start spreading out sideways. So, if Ahnentafel is the way to go, I could make the effort now to ensure that all my ancestors were numbered appropriately. Hope my rambling make sense. Thanks for your help!
