Hi June,
Did your Tree Finder come up with something that looks like one of the
images here
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/58um20cgeckjuls/Screenshot%202016-02-27%2015.34.png?dl=0>*
(full URL below)? I've taken these two from the Sample database (on the
left) and my own file (on the right) and combined them into one image
for easy comparison.
The numbers in [square brackets] are the RINs for the person named. The
number to the right, in the Count column, is the number of individuals
in that particular tree.
RIN = Record Identification Number, a unique number assigned to each
person in your file - it's an essential element of how the database
works. So the 15, if it is in the square brackets next to your name, is
the RIN assigned to you in that file.
If the 15 is in the Count column, that is telling you that there are 15
people in that particular tree. Look at the image I mentioned at the
start, and you'll see there are 156 people in Asa Clark BROWN's tree,
and four other unlinked people. In my own file, there are 20999 people
in my own tree, and various other trees that are not linked to that main
tree (that perhaps I'll work out how they connect one day, if they do,
and I can link them together).
Jane Sarles - this is another way you can keep track of your unlinked
family if you choose to keep them in your main family file.
Hope this helps to explain what you're seeing. :-)
Wendy

Boyd, I just saw your message to Jane regarding unlinked individuals.
As I thought it was possible that I had an unlinked individual, I did
as you suggested to Jane – thinking it would come up with a list of
unlinked people – but it came up with my name and the number 15
against it. I went to preview thinking that it would show a list of
something but it just had my name and the number 15.
Could you please explain what that means?
Thank you
June

Jane,
There is no reason why you can't have her as an unlinked individual,
with all her own data, within your main database. She will show in the
name list, and can be linked when you find a connection but will
generally not show in any other lists or reports.
If you go to View > Trees > Refresh that you may find you already have
some floating individuals.
