was aiming for. I went and checked and found that the colour has changed on

Take a look at

whether or not to show just short location names versus long location
names depends on the readability of the font they have chosen. I

RIN numbers have nothing to do with Ahnentafel numbers. As you add people you

Yes, they are different. A RIN is simply a number which Legacy allocates to an
individual when the individual is added to the file. In actual fact the RINs
are in the order in which an individual is added, i.e. the first individual has
a RIN of 1, the second 2 and so on.
