When entering data in a genealogy program, for the purpose of sharing family
trees via Rootsweb or another site, how does one submit information that is
not proven?

I think you really have two options. If the information is very speculative
you might be better off excluding the individual(s) who are questionable either
from the GEDCOM you submit or removing him/them from the WorldConnect file
you display. (You can remove an individual who is included in the GEDCOM you
upload from display by using the advanced setup page to remove specific ID
numbers from display--this is explained in the FAQs for use of the advanced set-up
page.)

OR, you can choose to include full notes and sources in the GEDCOM you upload
and display to back up your reasoning. Your notes can explain that
conclusive proof doesn't exist while listing your reasons for including the
individual(s).
