The format in Langevin's Bible #2,pages 50 & 51 works just fine.Four
generations are enough since with any more it becomes too cluttered and the
info before that doesn't matter much anyway.30 ancestors are enough (2+4+8+16)
Your seeds would be from the--XXX Kincade 98 (UOW) or (EST).If you need help
with any of the ancestors,let me know. UOW=unofficial weight
EST=estimated weight
If everyone does this when sending seeds a traceable history of our AG's
will be maintained.
