I haven't read much of the other replies. The thing I find most useful is the "Home Person". This can be set on both Ancestry.Com or Legacy Family Tree (where it's actually Home Family). This just gives me a "known" location to get back to for navigation. Take care, Melody On Sat, Oct 18, 2008

So, if you do decide you want your people's RIN in some particular order (say for filing purposes, not report
