I used our oldest child (who has died) as the first entry, or at least the entry relationships are calculated from. That gives me relationships on both sides of the family. I do not know who is number one, since when I was entering information I did not know about the process (and I think I

I haven't read much of the other replies. The thing I find most useful is the Home Person. This can be set on both Ancestry.Com or Legacy Family Tree (where it's actually Home Family). This just gives me a known location to get back to for navigation. Take care, Melody On Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at

I wonder why the picture would be clearer depending on who you enter first! The data you enter is the same and as your speaker noted, numbers are not important, and this must work both ways. I have myself as the first person and nothing is lost for either of my children. Perhaps the reference was

Lavern, If I want an ancestry tree for my grandchildren then I start with them (actually you can only start with one and the others have to be added in a word processor). If I wanted the tree for my daughter then I would start with her etc. The RIN makes absolutely no difference. Your

Numbers associated with a person aren't important unless those numbers are serving multiple purposes (like also serving as document numbers, etc.). As to pedigree numbering, there are several numbering systems in use around the world so trying to keep them in order is like re-arranging deck

Connie's last statement should put your mind to rest. If you decide you do have a use for the RINs, you can always change them later if you don't like how they are automatically assigned. So, if you do decide you want your people's RIN in some particular order (say for filing purposes, not
