mistyfog said:Ken, you are correct about the generations.
I'm confused as to where to place the double or perhaps triple parentheses for
multiple generations.


I usually start with the "first" or "oldest" cross in the parentage and work outward from there. Just remember that the parentheses need to be balanced, or used in pairs, so if you are writing out a pedigree and add a closing parenthesis, make sure you add an opening one to the other side of that particular sub-cross.

Since you recognized the multiple generation chain clearly, perhaps the above is
okay.


It's right as rain. An alternate solution that seems to have been successfully employed by some hybridizers is to name and register every 'keeper' seedling, reducing the complexity of subsequent pedigrees. Big Grin
