Ha!  Just reading the question I thought "I wonder if this is about one of the Blue Bollings..." and lo and behold, it is!

My understanding is that if a profile is found to be of "Disproven Existence", all relationships to real people should be removed. If so, then when that occurs, DNA test info would no longer be propagated to the Disproven Existence profile.

Edited: changed "living people" to "real people"

Well all the offspring definitely had parents, even if we don't know the names of those parents.

In principle they all had different parents called Unknown Unknown, until shown otherwise.

But the Uncertain flag exists so that people who aren't known to share parents can be hooked up to the same parents anyway, in order to look for a possible DNA match between descendants.

Yup, RJ, and before I remove them, I have been working on who they may possibly belong to (-:
