Tail Female Line Identifacation

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, AHA Datasource does not take the Polish horses back to the tail females. It is simple to do this, so it is a conundrum as to why this information is absent from something that "prides" itself on being complete. AHA accepts the Polish Stud Book as a purebred registry, and has since the Polish Arabian Stud Book was compiled by Skorkowski and others after WWI. They compiled it from extensive private records, as well as State records and with extensive research. So, since this information has been accepted for decades upon decades, why isn't it on the DataSource? Bad AHA, no biscuit.
Also, there are no current records for about 5 years of the Polish Stud Book. Seems that AHA has a mental block (could it be political???WAHO???not saying it is, but what other reasons?)against being accurate in the Data Source with Polish Arabians that it accepts into it's registry. (pet peeve)
Poland prints it's Stud Book (Volume whatever or TOM XIV for ex.) with a number of years of foals included. Inbetween these hardbound editions, they put out a yearly supplement (DOM IV for ex.), which is the OFFICIAL REPORT of the Polish Stud Book Registry located at the Warsaw Racetrack. So there is no valid excuse for AHA not to use these supplements, in lieu of the hardbound, which is essentially the same information, and identical information regarding registrations. Evidently there has been a financial reason in Poland as to why the hardbound hasn't been done for a while.
Still, the information in the Supplements is official.
"Bewitched" is correct. You can google Janow Podlaski and clik the British flag for English language. Then clik on Pedigree Database, and clik on any of the three different references: Pedigree, Offspring or Search. By using the English pages, one doesn't have to type in the letters with the diacritical markings, hence making it applicable unless one has Polish letters on their computer.
By cliking on the last mare in the lower right of the pedigree, then that mare becomes the subject horse. Continue cliking on the last mare until you reach the end. This will be the tail female mare, or family line. Also, in the title of each subject horse, will be their color, birthdate, breeder, sire line and dam line. In the sire and dam lines, there will be the name of the original horse, date of importation if known, and who imported the horse from the desert, or other country.
So, if you wanted to know the information quickly, type in the subject horse. For example:
Celebes bay stallion, foaled 1949
Bred by SK Albigowa (stud farm Albigowa)
Sire Line: Kuhailan Haifi d.b. 1923, imp 1931 Gumniska (Desert importation of the stallion Kuhailan Haifi desert bred born in 1923 and imported in 1931 by the Stud farm Gumniska)
Dam line: Milordka 1810, bred by Slawuta (Tail female line, or tap root family is Milordka, born 1810 bred by the stud farm Slawuta)
So, the tail female line in Celebes is in continuous descending order to Milordka as follows: Canaria, Saga, Jaga II, Bajka, Siglavy Bagdady, Malta, Republika, Heraldyka, Luba, Pruszyna, Ostrouszka, Zaira, Milordka.
Hope this helps people find the tail female/tail male lines in a pedigree.
