Re: [LegacyUG] RINs and MRINS
Hi RINs and MRINs are auto-generated identities applied to individuals and marriages as they are created. They are there so that the various parts of the Legacy database can connect to the correct individuals and marriages. You might say that Frank married Ann, but Legacy will know that the people Frank and Ann have unique RIN values and that their marriage will have a unique MRIN value and have links back to the RINs of the pair. Remember that while Legacy will 'show' you various parts of the data, they are held separately and need various identity codes to link them together. Absolutely needed, from a programmers view, and totally hidden from the users view. The only exception to these are the RIN and MRIN identities, and I suppose that there was a point in the past when they decided to make them visible. The RIN shows up in the Index and Individual Lists, as the 1st column, and the MRIN shows up in the Marriage List. Unless you are deeply into the system you can totally ignore them - do not print them out and do not renumber them. For the Descendent Book and Descendent Narrative Book, which are different in the format and content, there will be a large choice of options that you can use to control which data is included, and it is worth running it on a small group so that you see what the various choices will produce. Remember, also, that it will be based on one person and their descendants. If you want to include information on multiple groups which overlap you can use the Multiple Lines of Decent Book - that will produce a report based on multiple marriages at the top and will stop descending every time it finds a person who has already been printed earlier in the report, with a reference to them. Very useful if you have traced back multiple lines of Ancestors and you want to produce a consolidated report. To produce multiple, different reports within a single report, with single indexes etc, you can use the Publishing Centre to build the list of reports, in sequence, as needed. Always try out the reports on small sets of people to decide which information you want to include, before you want to run it on a large tree. Regards Chris -- Original Message -- From: "Cynthia N.

Also valuable when you are comparing your data with others the number is a simple method of Identification within your files. Especially when or If you have 3oo Donald's with the same last name.

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs and MRINS
I suggest you don’t include them in reports. You don’t need them and those persons reading your reports won’t understand them. These are autogenerated numbers that database programs need to have. Some people tie the RINs/MRINs to their paper filing system (I don’t).

[LegacyUG] RINs
Hello everyone I'm new to Legacy and I'm trying to understand RINs. Most of mine are 10 digits long so I would like to shorten them; as the tree I'm working on has only around 1500 people so is it possible to renumber them from 1-1500 and if so how do I implement this using the renumbering facility in Legacy?

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs
Fill all missing RINs will take all higher number RINS and reassign them to lower numbers. So, if your first RIN is 104524521, it will renumber it 1.

There are missing ones. There's a gap between your smaller numbers and the larger ones. Take a look at the Name List sorted by RIN - click on the # field. Then scroll down, looking at the numbers.

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs
Kathy, Charlotte, If you are number 1 in the database then doing as suggested WILL renumber the whole database. If you are not number 1 then you can change your RIN to number 1 by doing the “Renumber current RIN which will swap your RIN with the current number 1. Then goto renumber RINs and pick “Fill all missing RINs” and that should do it.

Re: [LegacyUG] RINs
Charlotte, There is no point in renumbering all the RINs, they are just numbers. They are useful in identifying a specific person and they also provide the file name for Pedigree webpages. Otherwise they serve little purpose. Normally the start person, that is the person who created the site has RIN 1 and this number is incremented by 1 as each new person is added. I can see the point in fillings gaps which are normally created by deleting a person or merging a (eg.) GEDCOM starting with much higher RINs, but I would be interested to know what you wish to achieve by a complete renumbering (if it could be done). Any such alleged system created would be rendered useless as soon as a new person is added or someone is deleted. I repeat, a RIN is simply a number.

I don't use the RINs for much but it seems to me that some people who use them a lot might want to renumber from the beginning. Just wondering If you want to assign particular numbers to particular people you will have to either renumber them one at a time or assign UserIDs. RINs are assigned incrementally as you add each new person to the database so the numbers probably won't bear much, if any, relationship to whereabout on the tree a person resides. If you do as Sherry advises it WILL renumber all your RINs. You say you don't have any missing, but obviously if you only have 1500 people but your RINs all have at least 10 digits the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 . are missing! If you do what Sherry says you will have RINs from 1 to 1500. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
