Lavern, If I want an ancestry tree for my grandchildren then I start with them (actually you can only start with one and the others have to be added in a word processor). If I wanted the tree for my daughter then I would start with her etc. The RIN makes absolutely no difference.
Your question seems to imply that you believe that the RIN numbers are somehow related to the start person, they are not - although some people choose to ensure that the start person is number 1 (this is a complete waste of time in my opinion). There is no reason whatsoever why this should be the case. Hence no changes are need to your file, try just highlighting your child and compiling an Ancestry Report.
