I propose that we disconnect the parents. (It seems to be project protected.) This has certainly not been rushed. I've tried to make it more clear which profiles are about real people, and which not. Alwin was certainly real. The parents and their ancestors should presumably come into the disproven existence category or something like that? The fact that some such profiles may "reflect" various aspects of real people should not confuse us because such real people (such as Wigod of Wallingford) can and should have their own profiles with their real relationships, whereas the profiles attached here are clearly about fictional versions. (We can convert them or merge them so that they become profiles about real people, but then they'd be quite different.) In any case, I see no scenario where we should maintain the connections to Alwin, who was a real person and was NOT a son of Wigod of Wallingford.

In the case of any "relatives" whose existence can't be verified or even suspected, indicate on the profile why the person probably never existence, disconnect relationships (with a note in the narrative of what relationships were alleged) and post a "Disproven Existence Notice" on G2G, which will trigger the necessary one week notice, then it can get Disproven Existence template and, if desired, profile management.
