OK.

I did a test.

Installed My Heritage and made a Gedcom from the sample file in it. (JFK and family) Then I did a Gedcom import into Legacy of this MH-file.

In all General Notes fields appeared RIN MH numbers.

For instance for JFK himself: 

BIRT: RIN MH:IF1
DEAT: RIN MH:IF2
BURI: RIN MH:IF3
DSCR: RIN MH:IF4
EDUC: RIN MH:IF7
NATI: RIN MH:IF10
OCCU: RIN MH:IF6
OCCU: RIN MH:IF5
_UID: RIN MH:IF9
RELI: RIN MH:IF8


So my guess that these RIN MH numbers are generated by My Heritage is correct.

You say you have entered all your records yourself.

But the problem is that Legacy don't put information into the General Notes fields by itself.
The only possilitities are:

1. You did it yourself
2. Imported by a Gecom.

and

perhaps, but I have no clue: 3. By synchronisation through LDS or...?

Thanks Bert, but I have entered every record myself. No doubt someone will get to the bottom of it eventually.

A guess:

I think these RIN MH numbers are generated by My Heritage Family Trees.

When importing a Gedcom made by My Heritage these RIN MH numbers are not recognized by Legacy; and therefore put into the General Notes fields.

Hope this helps.

Thankyou for your thoughts Kathy,
 
It has also occurred to those with no sources so it doesn't appear to have any connection to sources.
 
No the numbers have no connection with my Legacy RIN numbers. In fact they are unique eg:
BIRT:RIN MH:IF7
DSCR:RIN MH:IF8
RESI:RIN MH:IF9

Thought: have you copied a source from one person to another person in the same family?
Thought: pick a person who has these numbers, write down the RIN numbers they have, and then see who that RIN number matches up with in YOUR own tree.

I highly fought this has anything to do with ancestry as I have none of these and I use ancestry all the time.

Your question raised my curiosity.  I used Search>Detailed Search with these parameters:
Look for whom?      Individual
Where to look         Notes-General
How to look            Contains
What to look for      MH:
Clear list before this search
Click Create List

To my surprise, I have 47 individuals in my database with similar entries in the General Notes.  

I did a similar search with these parameters:
Look for whom?      Marriage
Where to look         Marriage Notes
How to look            Contains
What to look for      MH:
Clear list before this search
Click Create List

This time I found 21 marriages with similar entries in the Marriage Notes.

They must have come from an import because I don't make that type of entry.  If you discover where they may have originated, please post again.  I wish I had an answer but at least you have confirmation that this is not unique to your file.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Numbers appearing on Descendant Report

After running Check/Repair the following examples are appearing on the Descendant report for some records only.
 
DEATH:RIN MH:1F269
RESI:RIN MH:IF292
DSCR:RIN MH:IF260
and also  MARR:RIN MH:FF2
 
Upon investigation I find they are arbitrarily recorded in the General or Marriage notes.
 
1. What are these numbers?
 
2. Why would it only apply to some records and not others?
 
3. How can I remove them from the Reports/Notes?
 
Many thanks
 
Shirley
