Hence anybody who has bookmarked a page may well end up with a different individual. Not to mention the fact that the Google Search Engine records will be incorrect for some time after the change.

Since you have re-numbered many of your MRINs, have you experienced any problems with Phantom RINs, or Phantom MRINs, or any other type of problems? I have read the Help Files and Legacy User's Manual that explains how to do this. I guess my greatest concern is there a downside to renumbering those MRINs?

I may need to do some of them again as it is a long time since I first did it and I recently got a funeral notice for an aunt and found her MRIN was a huge number. Have a look here for a good discussion on the system. http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/organization/mrin-filing-system/ Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck..com Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
