  1. FIAPBT public pedigree record 5652 — Colby's Bunch

    FIAPBT pedigree catalog · Catalog record · Accessed

    One inspected user-contributed pedigree table has 28 occupied positions; two further currently published Racine Sam ancestor links yield 29 visible PITVU positions because the independently published Mitchell Paddy dam slot remains disputed and is withheld. Linked individual pages belong to the same catalog, not independent confirmation. The ambiguous Colby Rose (1910s) label and Bunch 1909 source birth date are not resolved as historical chronology; no dates or ownership imported. All new parentage remains pending source-reported.

    Public book OCR reviewed; original page images and contemporary documents were not independently examined. This is the same 1997 publication as the other Colby-book citations, not independent corroboration. The Mag caption includes 1896 without defining the date type and reports death on 16 August 1910; its bare year is not treated as another birth date. The swimming anecdote and Pup/Prince relationship are family-history reports. No book passages or photographs have been reproduced.
