Rob, How do you handle multiple files? Each Legacy file could have the same series of MRIN numbers. If all names are kept in a single file, some individuals have a lot of data repeated in "book" reports (eg descendants of Asa Brown's parents and descendants of Eleanor's parents in Legacy Multiple Lines for example.)
Almost any filing method seems to work for a small project but some of my branches have hundreds of pictures available in addition to source documents. A close relative has 500 individual pictures. A person with local history connections and three marriages has 300 individual images, mostly from online newspapers. I stopped using numbers in 1988 shareware because relatives would send snail-mail corrections by number and there were two separate files with descendants of brothers. Later connections were for Robert son of A & B, or Robert husband of C. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Weiss" Unless you actually try to merge your file into another existing file, the MRINs won't change.
