I'd treat the "Vinga as Heort's daughter" idea with a bit of caution: quite a lot of people believe she's a goddess, and the daughter of Orlanth, not Heort. A Vingan heroine could well have been Heort's daughter, but that's different.

A fawn? Unless some very odd inter-species breeding was going on?

My guess would be that some can prove their ancestry, with a detailed list of names, and others just have a tradition that Heort was their founder.
