I can see that all unmarried people could be done by
alphabet but I just wondered do you file the husband and
wife separately

Oops.. sent too quick.
First, sources are assigned to people marriages (RINS MRINS) not people
to sources.
So, when you renumber MRIN 12345 to MRIN 1 any sources assigned to MRIN

Somewhere I got a email about filing. I have followed this up and read it.
Its really good and can highly recommend it. As a begginer with only about
100 documents at the moment, I have already started filing census bmd etc

My understanding is that all events prior to marriage go with the
Parent's MRIN and all events at or following the marriage would go
with her MRIN.

Hi Anne,
I have all of my family lines in one file and I have my wife's family lines

Hi Everyone,
I have been following the numerous discussions on filing systems with
interest.
I like the idea of the MRIN filing system but for me can see one drawback.

Hi Anne,

family or families at the beginning of each binder so I can quickly find who
I am looking for. Then I start each MRIN file with a family
Hi Walt,
Do you keep your family lines separate in Legacy or do you have them in one

In printing group sheets there is the option to print them in MRIN's but
only for the entire family file. There does not seem to be a way of printing
a focus group (say descendants) in MRIN order.
