Jane, I'm with Ron on this. I never link anyone where I don't have substantial evidence, generally from more than one source, that A's father is B. I use the Note feature to explain my suspicion, and make very clear it is only a hypothesis.
When I have several possibilities, I not only use the Note feature for A, but I enter B, C, and D as unlinked and develop research plans for each using the "To Do" feature. I haven't found this to be a problem at all, so long as I have Notes for all four unlinked individuals that cross-reference each other.

Or, for that matter, you have 2 or 3 possible candidates for person A's father. One does not want to list them as though it is certain, but just putting the candidates in as "unlinked" does not allow for connecting them when wanted, say for research purposes. Ideas? Jane S.
