Victoria,
For most modern releases, parentage shouldn't be a question.  There 
are pedigrees that go with these going back a few generations.  For 
the older ones and open pollinated varieties, I see where this can be 
an issue.  Another problem I see is that names for varieties are not 
unique.  One variety can have many names, and many apples can have 
the same name.  I think uncertainties can be handled by a comment or 
citation field in the database.

Thanks for your feedback.  If you have some variety information you 
would like to share with the group, I could create a new online 
database out of it for you.
