1st, I agree with those who already replied regarding RIN numbers. They can have gaps, they are of no real use. 2nd, it is also possible to have people in your database who are not connected to your family tree. I have people like this. For example, if I find someone with one of my odd surnames in a town where my people lived but I have not found how the person is related, I add them to my database, BUT if I export my family tree these people are not included. It is also possible to get these stray or extra people if you import other GEDCom files that have them. Alan > > From: "H.

(This is true if you don't export "all" the file.) It is also possible to get these stray or extra people if you import other GEDCom files that have them.(This is true if you do export "All" the file.) So exporting option "all " or "partial" can make a different. The best thing to do is to run "insight" they will show you all your individuals that are not linked to your main pedigree. Many times these people become unlink when you delete someone. You may find a lot more than you thought you had in there. R Paul Alan > > From: "H.
