I've had a quick
search
of the forum and cannot find an answer, so just posing a quick question.
I know the title is "
Permanent
" ID, but can I be confident that (
unless I change it
) the Permanent ID remains unchanged? If I copy/move a
person
from one
GenoMap
to another GenoMap, they get another Permanent ID, but if I treat the original as the master then I should be OK.
The reason behind the question is I recently had a light bulb moment where I realised my evidence trail was pretty poor, almost non existent would be more to the point. What I was thinking was to use the Permanent ID of each person as a
reference
in my file naming convention. I'm sure like most people, I've found that names repeat in my
family
, particularly at certain times, e.g. Henry and George were extremely popular names when they were the Kings of England, so many relatives with the same name. Plus with me now storing that evidence I'm finding that I'm doubling up on
information
because of poor naming of my files which is also being caused by so many people with the same name.
So, if I don't change the Permanent ID's of people, e.g. "ind01702" then I could use "ind01702" or just "1702" as a prefix for any file that I store for that person. E.g. 1702_BirthCert.jpg, 1702_MarriageCert.jpg etc.
Does that sound correct?
