Parentage Atkinson tomato?

Not important, just wondered if anyone happened to know Atkinson's ancestry.

I ran across a reference to it being part of an attempt to develop an improved Rutgers. To me, what that means is "Hey, it must be one of the Marglobe grandchildren".

Of course, for a relatively recent tomato to be a descendant of Marglobe is kind of like a Thoroughbred being a descendant of the Darley Arabian (i.e. most of them are, somewhere or other) -- but I did wonder what the Atkinson connection was, if anyone happens to know.
