Curator's note dated March 2015 says he was not Rodrigo. Source? Documentation? You are in a minority but you may be right.

Here, for comparison, is how I have listed web "sources" on Familypedia:

http://klausjames.tripod.com/susanclinton.html - calls her "Sancha Rodriguez de Lara" with parents "Rodrigo Rodriguez de Lara (b. 1123) = Garcia de Azarga"
Sancha Rodríguez de Lara calls her "Sancha Rodríguez de Lara" and a headnote dated March 2015 says "She was NOT daughter of Rodrigo Rodriguez de Lara, conde de Lara e Elvira Garcia de Azagra." but those are still what the page shows
http://www.hull.ac.uk/php/cssbct/cgi-bin/gedlkup.php/n=royal?royal1... - which shows "Father: de Lara, Rodrigo Rodriguez, b. 1123" and "Mother: de Azagra, Garcia"
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00115171&tre... - citing The Plantagenet Ancestry, Baltimore, 1975 , Turton, Lt.Col. W. H. 54 and Les Ancestres de Louis XIV, 512 quartiers, Paris, 1981, Carretier, Christian. p 121 - but no grandparents

Not a minority opinion. The connection is an old fake.

For a simple overview see English and Spanish Wikipedia:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Rodr%C3%ADguez_Gir%C3%B3n#Mat...

This question comes up from time to time at soc.genealogy.medieval. The experts are all agreed that the de Lara descent is a later invention.

Per https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gonzalo_Rodr%C3%ADguez_G...

Sancha Rodríguez (died between 1209 and 1212).[b][11] In his 1697 study of the Lara family, Luis de Salazar y Castro suggested she was daughter of a Rodrigo Rodríguez appearing in documents without further identifying details, in turn made son of count Rodrigo González de Lara by the infanta Sancha Alfonso.[12] In this he has been followed by many more recent works. However, a recent survey of the Lara by Antonio Sánchez de Mora dismisses this connection as being without basis, a deliberate attempt to give the Girón prominent ancestry.[13] A 13th century pedigree of the patrons of the monastery of Santa María de Ferreira de Pallares states that Gonzalo married the daughter of Rodrigo Fernández de Toroño, alférez to the king, and Aldonza Pérez, daughter of Pedro Muñoz de Carrión, a landholder in Aranga and a descendant of the Banu Gómez and of the Galician nobleman Pedro Froilaz.[14]

All this being said, why is she still connected to incorrect parents and giving false kinship pathways on Geni? This was first brought up in 2016 and still hasn't been corrected.
