family lineage

Family lineage refers to the sequence of ancestry and descendants within a family, tracing regular genetic and familial connections through generations. It maps how individuals are related, such as parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, creating a family tree. Lineage can be viewed through biological ties or cultural traditions, helping to understand heritage, inheritance, and ancestral origins. Essentially, it illustrates the continuity of family relationships across time, emphasizing the roots from which current generations descend and how familial traits, history, and identities are passed down.
