When using the MRIN system, documents related to an unmarried
individual will be filed under the parents of that individual.
It's only after the individual is married that documents go under the
new family's group (am I making sense?)
Your system sounds pretty good though.

I use User IDs with the RIN and a letter for the family line to identify. I
don't bother with MRINs because the unmarried would need a different filing
system.

Thank you everyone for your input, both pro and con, as well as the suggested
use of the User ID field as an alternative. I think I have a better
understanding now of what to do, what not to do, and the potential problems
that could result if one is not careful.

One item you might consider - if you were or planned to use the MRIN number for
your filing system of hard copy (or scanned) data, the re-numbering would/might
destroy the connection between the MRIN and the hard copy source files.
Something to consider.

Where do you get the 1760s (presumably the Treaty of Paris (1763)) was the

Bruce,
Since you mention changing RINs, one downside is that should you have a Legacy

where “81” is the RIN. Hence anybody who has bookmarked a page may well end up
with a different individual. Not to mention the fa

I use this system and had to re-number many of my MRINS. I may need to do some
