Default Asteroid Families?

Is there any good information on the various asteroid families online?
I can only find basic information that there are families at
particular Jovian resonances, but no information on particulars.
Searching only gets me the Trojans and Trans-Neptunians. Years ago, I
saw an article in one of the journals giving names to each group, and
its members. But anything else just at best mentions the Flora family
alone without giving any details.

Try this:

An interesting quote: "... in the following list, Themis, Eos, and
Koronis are for-real families, whereas the others are all groups."
