I offered the Dollarhide numbering system as an alternative to RIN. I can see that you have different needs-as do others. There are more systems available for exploring over the Internet if you just type in some keywords to do a search.
I find that this method works best for my personal use rather than for a family organization. It suits my areas of research, which are US, England, and Denmark. At this point I'm filling in, correcting, and verifying more than extending back on my pedigree; therefore, my numbers are not enormous. Organizing is a challenge in genealogy but it is a major key to ongoing success. The time I have taken to renumber has paid dividends. The process has helped me analyze my information, spot minor mistakes in my database, and recognize major linkage problems. I appreciate everyone's feedback. This is a good group for sharing ideas as well as resolving Legacy problems.
