What is the succinct way of documenting the surety of a family relationship
in Legacy ?

Let me explain my question with an example. Using BMD and census data I have
documented a family which lived in a rural settlement in the 19th century.
On the basis of hearsay from a hitherto very reliable living source I
suspect that one of the daughters of this family is my
great-great-grandmother. I have reliably documented my family tree back to
the time this daughter lived, and to the immediate area she lived in,  but
cannot yet find a substantial element of proof that she is linked to this
tree. There is an element of doubt because there were two other families
with the same surname which lived nearby. My soliloquies on this
relationship, together with a summary of the bits of evidence, are written
up in the Research section of the Notes of this person in Legacy. I have
linked her to the subsequent family in Legacy but would like some *succinct*
way to show me in the Family or Pedigree view, for example, that this link
is tentative. I'm thinking of something like a Surety level which would
apply to the parental relationship, e.g. Surety 2 = "probably relationship"
or Surety 1 = "marginal evidence of relationship".
