Meg,
Welcome to Legacy. You are right, a RIN is an automatically assigned number for an individual. It’s assigned sequentially as you input each person. It’s nothing more than a unique number, there is no ‘structure’ implying relationships etc. MRIN’s are the same thing, except for they are for marriages (or more properly, relationships). Paul Gray From: Margaret Atkinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: October-03-13 5:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Questions about RINs and MRINS Thursday October 3, 2013 I am new to Legacy and have questions on RINs and MRINs. If I understand correctly an RIN is a Record Number that is automatically assigned. So if the oldest male ancestor entered in Legacy is number 1, and his wife is number 2, what is the numbering for their children and their spouses etc. Even if the system is automatic I would like to have an understanding once a family starts to branch out. Also I am unclear what an MRIN is. Thank all in advance for help on these beginner questions.
