Cynric, king of Wessex - Parents

Oh my. Well, it is what it is then, at least it's all the same family. I guess everyone has to decide for themselves which version to put into any private tree they might have.

Hi Debbie,
I have not personally done any research on Cynric but this sounds like an issue to raise with the medieval moderators as it potentially affects many listings. I believe that GENi can allow multiple parents
Best,
Shel

Cynric, king of Wessex is my 40th great grandfather.

Private User a person can't have two sets of biological parents. One has to be incorrect in such a case. Geni has settings to list foster parents, adoptive parents, etc. but they definitely work with us to try to resolve conflicting parents that don't fit any of those legitimate categories because otherwise the incorrect parents being connected leads to incorrect pathways and misleading lineage.

Yes, indeed on all those points, but surely there must be a way to accommodate for competing historical sources.

We can always put notes in their profiles for possible or alternate parents.
