Hi With Legacy open on your screen. Look at the very bottom right side of the screen you will see H:x x being a number. This is the Husbands RIN next is M:x this is the Marriage number MRIN this is followed by W:x the wifes RIN Look through some more screens and you will see these numbers are always shown depending on who you are looking at. What I do when I enter a new marriage into the database I retype the MRIN into the User ID box of the wife, hausband and any children that are not married. This ensures that if the MRIN number do change you will still be able to find your files. I have used this system for four years and had no trouble. -- Regards Laurence E Stephenson mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Rise of the Stephenson Family in Australia www.users.bigpond.net.au/steppayne I am Researching:- Butcher......Stroud, Gloucestershire, England..........>1856 Fortune......Berwickshire, Scotland....................>1858 Garlick......Liverpool, Lancashire, England............>1863 Mee..........Kilflyn, Limerick, Ireland (Palatine).....>1884 Payne........Washingborough, Lincolnshire, England.....>1863 Ritchie......Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, Scotland.........>1860 Stephenson...Pickering, Yorkshire, England ............>1856 Wittick.....(Convict) Walsall,Staffordshire,England....>1822 Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
