MEDS - The Midnight - Erica Data Set
The Midnight Erica dataset was initiated by Greg's brother in the mid 1990's as a series of
maternal line pedigrees. The original intention was to merely trace the various dam-lines
back to their Scottish source. Last year we decided to establish a database to store the
information Broken Arrow had collected in the 1990's.
We chose the Herd Keeper software developed by Wild Systems, an Australian business,
(http://www.breedmate.com/), in part because it was able to produce a wide range of extended
pedigrees - as well as performing both Coefficient of Inbreeding and Coefficient of
Relationship data. This software also enables us to produce the ancestor count information
on a regular basis.
The Pedigree Chart produced by this program can show more than 100+ generations of
ancestors and the Descendants Chart (Reverse Pedigree) can show eight generations of all
offspring.
