Hi Mary, I just use the 2" D ring binders. They work great for me. I have just under 1,000 people thusfar in my research. I have read online that people have many thousands of people....so I am not sure how well it would work for such huge number of individuals.....but for mine it's great. I have about 14 binders.....and growing!!! I have been doing research for about 10 years and much of that time I spent 'fighting' to find a system that made sense to me. This one suits me just fine. I like having everything together. I also used the customize feature to show the MRIN on the individual's screen...along with birth, bap and death. That way, I didn't have to keep flipping to an index to find where information goes. I love how flexible Legacy can be!!!Hope this helps. Marilyn

I am just starting this process, and I’d like to avoid re-doing something a year from now. (I’m jumping in here without the benefit of previous exchanges as I just signed up for this listserve.) Do I understand that you use the Legacy MRINs regardless of the person’s relationship to the person numbered before or behind them? (This is my big obstacle, how to set this up.) Many thanks, neophyte but a quick learner. Mary From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marilyn BrenkSent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 10:04 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: [LegacyUG] Using the MRINS Hi Missy, I switched to the MRIN filing system about 8 months ago.....and really like it. If you have say MRIN 1 through 10 in one binder and 11 to 19 in another binder....when 1-10 get too full, I split it up to a binder of 1-5 and another binder of 6-10....binder 11-19 stays the same. I have never found a reason to "switch" anything. It seems to work out OK. Hope this helps.
