    The base volume family for Volume 1 includes all the snapshots and thin clones that are shown in the diagram. For Thin Clone 2: • The source snapshot is Snapshot 2. • The family is Volume 1. • The original parent is Snapshot 2. For Thin Clone 3: • The source snapshot is Snapshot 3. • The family is
