Thanks to Amanda - yes I am aware of the genetic possibilities!
I have seen a similar tree showing the Fell info several years ago. That figure was, at least originally, all
drawn from American data. I am wary of putting a lot of faith in this table! The version of Dr Cothran's tree
that I have, is quite different from the unpublished one shown in the PDF and excludes the Friesian, among
others, while placing the Fells and Dales with the Shire, the Clydesdale and Highland pony. As I don't know
which tree is the later, I don't know which one to believe.
I am also aware of the Curle edition of the work of J C Ewart at Newsteads (which I found online a year or so
ago). But pointers towards anything newer, and to other lists where genetic data might be discussed, are still
welcome!
