Of the 7 things this page says, 3 name who reports them and 4 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for BK14518.4. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.
That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.
If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.
