Sue, there is one way to renumber your whole data base, if you really want
(or need) to do that. First of all you need to create a new data base with
you as the only entry. Next, import your existing Legacy database into this
new file. Merge your old entry for yourself with your new entry (as #1). The
other individuals will then be renumbered. There is no guarantee of what
order that will happen in, though.

Just remember though that RIN's and MRIN's are of significance only to the
computer program. It really doesn't matter which number an individual (or
marriage) has. As you find and add individuals over time the new sequence
(above) you create will be once again "out of order". Doesn't really make
much sense to rely on them does it?

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Renumbering MRINS
Hi Carol,

I'm just trying to renumber my direct line. I didn't think using the above
option would do that. It was my understanding that "Fill missing RINs from
RIN greater than or equal to" would fill in RINs that were abandoned when
people were deleted from the file.
