The direct bloodline... Like you are a direct descendant of your grandfather... the son of the son of the man who is now your grandfather.

It means through the parental lines, either the father or mother, only. It includes parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc... but no other relatives, like aunts or uncles, or other siblings of grandparents, etc.

It goes from like you, to your parents, to their parents, etc. It knocks off cousins and brothers and sisters.

Related by birth, not marriage. You are a direct descendant of your father and mother, and their parents, and their parents, and so on.
