How to read these relationships

Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.

Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.
