What do these numbers mean?

Do the donor numbers have some meaning. I noticed that they seem to be categorized or something based on the first number but I can't figure it out. Just wondering because knowing this may simplify my search process. Also, after that first digit, is there a chronological order? TIA!

    The donor numbers do not have any meaning. They are assigned randomly and split up amongst the different labs. These numbers will have no bearing on your search criteria.

    However, it may seem like all of the donors with a particular feature such as ID options or Lifetime photos have similar numbers. Some of these newer programs that Fairfax Cryobank has introduced in the recent past are only available on donors who were donating since they started. So there may be a group of donors with chronological numbers that happen to end up in the same categories that you are searching.

    Thanks. That might be it. I was just wondering because all of my favs are either 2000 or 4000 numbers and I started with like 26 so I thought that was odd and maybe there was something I was missing. Thanks again!
