Direct Male Lineage

A direct male lineage traces your ancestry through your father's side, passing from father to son across generations. It focuses on the male line of descent, meaning your father's father, and so on. This is often used in family history and inheritance contexts to identify a specific family line that is inherited through male ancestors only, typically governed by traditions or laws like primogeniture. In simple terms, it’s about following the trail of males in your family tree, from father to son, to understand your paternal heritage and roots.
