I have missed out on some of this conversation, so I apologize if I am duplicating someone's previous input. What about creating an event such as "Birth1", meaning this birth event is not real credible -- similar to how the SourceWriter gives a Surety Level from 0 to 4 with 0 being "have not decided yet", 1 being "marginal evidence", 2 being "probable conclusion", etc... At a glance you can tell how creditable the event is by the number. The source can then be attached to the event for quick reference.
I have made events such as Birth-Disputed just so I have a notation that I found this information and the reasons why it is not valid. The name of the event can be whatever is appropriate. I think documenting the disputed and unconfirmed information is just as important as documenting the confirmed information (as long as it is noted as being disputed/unconfirmed) because you never know for sure why it is there or what it may lead to or clear up later.
