Uncertain who the father is

Is there a way to add two possible fathers,

In the relationships view, you can add as many parents as you want.

One of the grumbles is that the Charts only show the Preferred parents. But the user wants to diagram the biological and the adoptive/foster parents.

The other thing is that creating 2 families, one with each brother in a relationship with the known mother is misleading. One of the brothers is uninvolved.

Potential relationships are frequently postulated in a research tree and data is slowly gathered over time to prove (or disprove) the theory. A capacity to tag (and find) a ‘theoretical’ relationship would be useful thing. As would capturing ‘Disproven’ confidence for a relationship, Event or Source. (Multiple negative confidence levels are as useful the current multiple positive levels of confidence.)

Previous threads mentioning ‘dis-proven’:

Show place quality in Gramps

It is an interesting idea. I aready record Disproven items… so that it isn’t necessary to re-run the disproving exercise the next time the same bad info pops up. (As an example, I often see the Christening information that was mistaken for Birth data. Such a widely held misimpression can often be traced back to single Source being transcribed incorrectly.) So marking other data as low-probability ‘theory’ would also be good if Gramps is to be a research tool rather than simple filing system.…

Unproven citations

I use “Disproven” and “Unproven” in Zotero and Foam/Obsidian and a few other software I use, for sources/information that either does disprove something I have had unconclusive sources for or “Unproven” for sources that does not have enough information to be a proven fact, e.g., it in itself cannot prove a claim. Disproven I use for sources that tells me that the claims I am researching is wrong, I also add this as a TAG to any incorrect sources/citations. I also use: Unproven (Not proven cl…
