Ancestry now displaying "REFN" values for individuals

    Having just updated a tree by syncing from FTM I noticed the GEDCOM REFN value is shown for individuals as a "User Reference Number".
    Probably not a big deal for many, but I use the individual and family REFN numbers as part of document filenames which overcomes the problem of Ancestry and FTM renumbering the "FAM" and "INDI" references when trees are modified.
