If they have the same FamilySearch ID number, that needs to be corrected in FamilySearch. Go to the Help screen in the top right corner and submit an inquiry with the relevant information. The FS ID number is not related in any way to Legacy's RIN number.

These have the same Family Search ID number. They are identical except for the Legacy Record ID Numbers (RIN). I haven't found a way to merge files that have the same Family Search ID number, but I'd love to hear about it if you know a way.
