Ok, TY! I sat and figured it out so now I'm closer to understanding...fur-wise, the Genesis kittens would hide the other parents fur, and the non-Genesis are the ones who have a chance of hiding the starter parents fur...so either way, I shouldn't toss them if I feel like working to bring either out from these kittens, same for the other traits. Yay...feel free to delete this post, I've relabeled them all in my cattery ^^.

Wow, this helps too, ty Hathor! This is so fun for me, and I don't mind the work at all! Also a huge TY for your kitties in helping me in this journey...I've visited your live cattery, stores and MP many times already ;D.
