May I inject a word of caution into changing RINs. If one uses Pedigree Web Pages then changing the RINs will make updating the pages impossible as they are based on the RINs and all of the pages will have to be uploaded onto the site instead of only those which have been changed. No problem for relatively small sites but very, very, time consuming for large ones

I just recently renumbered the MRINs to use the MRIN filing system, however
I still had over 800 families so what I have done is number a file folder
1-25 then another for 26-50 and so on. Not a unique number for each family
but I don't have room for more than 800 file folders and I can live with the
slight inconvenience of looking through one file folder. One thing I am
going to do though is have a unique file folder for all my direct ancestors.
