I agree with Bert! I have none of these in any general notes or marriage notes.
and I have imported, entered manually and Integrated with FamilySearch but not
synced to it, except individuals I was sure of.
To see if it is possible if you linked with FamilySearch, there will be little
left and right arrows on the right side of the Name boxes and children lists in
Family View. They will be grey if they have no match in the FamilySearch
database and will be red if there is a match and not synced and green if they
have. These arrows and linking can be turned off by going to the
Options>Customize and on the General tab lower right is the FamilySearch box
“Integrate with FamilySearch” uncheck and they will go away and you won’t have
to worry about them.

Thanks for running that test Bert.
The thing is, I haven't got a clue how to do a Gedcom import. I prefer to have
complete control over what goes into my data base so all the information has
been entered manually.
Could I have inadvertently linked to LDS in some way?
Only my paternal line has this problem - in fact most but not all, including
births as recent as 2011.
I am quite happy to go through and delete the notes but it appears this problem
is not an isolated case. (Refer to Ron Taylor's reply)
Cheers
Shirley

OK.
I did a test.
Installed My Heritage and made a Gedcom from the sample file in it. (JFK and
family) Then I did a Gedcom import into Legacy of this MH-file.
In all General Notes fields appeared RIN MH numbers.
For instance for JFK himself:Â
BIRT: RIN MH:IF1
DEAT: RIN MH:IF2
BURI: RIN MH:IF3
DSCR: RIN MH:IF4
EDUC: RIN MH:IF7
NATI: RIN MH:IF10
OCCU: RIN MH:IF6
OCCU: RIN MH:IF5
_UID: RIN MH:IF9
RELI: RIN MH:IF8
So my guess that these RIN MH numbers are generated by My Heritage is correct.
You say you have entered all your records yourself.
But the problem is that Legacy don't put information into the General Notes
fields by itself.
The only possilitities are:
1. You did it yourself
2. Imported by a Gecom.
and
perhaps, but I have no clue: 3. By synchronisation through LDS or...?

Thanks Bert, but I have entered every record myself. No doubt someone will
get to the bottom of it eventually.

A guess:
I think these RIN MH numbers are generated by My Heritage Family Trees.
When importing a Gedcom made by My Heritage these RIN MH numbers are not
recognized by Legacy; and therefore put into the General Notes fields.
Hope this helps.

Thankyou for your thoughts Kathy,
ÂÂ
It has also occurred to those with no sources so it doesn't appear to
have any connection to sources.
ÂÂ
No the numbers have no connection with my Legacy RIN numbers. In fact
they are unique eg:
BIRT:RIN MH:IF7
DSCR:RIN MH:IF8
RESI:RIN MH:IF9

Thought: have you copied a source from one person to another person
in the same family?
Thought: pick a person who has these numbers, write down the RIN
numbers they have, and then see who that RIN number matches up with in YOUR own
tree.
I highly fought this has anything to do with ancestry as I have none
of these and I use ancestry all the time.

To my surprise, I have 47 individuals in my database with similar

I did a similar search with these parameters:

This time I found 21 marriages with similar entries in the Marriage
Notes.
They must have come from an import because I don't make that type
of entry.  If you discover where they may have originated, please post
again.  I wish I had an answer but at least you have confirmation that this
is not unique to your file.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Numbers appearing on Descendant Report
After running Check/Repair the following examples are appearing on
the Descendant report for some records only.
ÂÂ
DEATH:RIN MH:1F269
RESI:RIN MH:IF292
DSCR:RIN MH:IF260
and also MARR:RIN MH:FF2
ÂÂ
Upon investigation I find they are arbitrarily recorded in the
General or Marriage notes.
ÂÂ
1. What are these numbers?
ÂÂ
2. Why would it only apply to some records and not others?
ÂÂ
3. How can I remove them from the Reports/Notes?
ÂÂ
Many thanks
