I am not sure that I am understanding your problem here. I use the

You are correct in that a MRIN will be established but their is no need to
use unknown for the partner, simply leave it blank, and check the this

It really isn't worthwhile trying to get any semblance of order into RINs or

How are you going to change the wording? Via Legacy itself, or by editing

Ok - I have to admit that I had thought of the idea and put it up here

Tish,
Numbers are allocated in the order the entries are made. I can only imagine
that at some time you have renumbered and if so I haven't a clue as to what
method would be used. Because I create Pedigree webpages I have mine set not
to reuse RINs and I never renumber.

Gary, are you sure you're you? can you prove it? Some sources are dependent on

Legacy may be using the first available RIN. If you have deleted individual
records or have merged records, this creates gaps in the RIN sequence.
For example, RIN 10 might be available if duplicate records numbers with
RINs 9 and 10 were merged into one record with RIN 9. This leave an

Tish,
If you had deleted an individual and have the option to reuse abandoned RINs
selected at Options Customize Data Defaults, then the next entered
individual (after an individual was deleted) would get the number of the

I did have Alternate given and surnames' checked on the Include tab on

Is everyone looking at the same report?
Or did I find a bug in the program for Descendant Book reports?
I've checked every check box that has to do with putting the alternate names
in the index and nothing is working. The alt names show up in the report
but not the index. I upgraded the program last week to get the latest and

Is this a bug in the Descendant Book Report?
