The different generations of a family include the ancestry of the most recent
The concept of ancestry refers to a person's ancestors : that is, their ancestors . The parents , grandparents , great-grandparents and the rest of the ancestors of an individual constitute the ancestry of the subject in question.
In the blood line
Let's assume that Juan , Lucas and Pedro are family members. Juan is the father of Lucas and the grandfather of Pedro ; Lucas , Juan 's son and Pedro 's father; and Peter , the grandson of John and the son of Luke . In the ancestry of the youngest member of the group ( Pedro ), therefore, are Lucas and Juan .
In each family, ancestry can have a different value, and this affects issues such as the weight of traditions , respect for elders and even the bond between the different members of each generation with those of the others. It should be noted that the relevance of ancestry is also given by cultural reasons, which go beyond the reality of each family group; In Japan, for example, it is normal for the elderly to be revered, while in many Western countries they are often taken as an annoying part of society.
In any case, just as many Westerners respect our elders and know how to learn from their experience, in places like Japan there are those who despise them or laugh at them simply because of generational differences. And this is impossible to ignore: between one generation and the next, changes occur in various aspects of society , from language to the way of dressing. For this reason, it is often difficult for parents to understand each other with their children, and the gap is even greater with grandparents.
The origin of beings or things
The idea of ancestry is also used to refer to the origin of someone or something . If we talk about an American woman of Mexican descent , to mention one possibility, we will be indicating that her family roots are in Mexico . The woman, in this way, was born in the territory of the United States and/or has American citizenship, but has Mexican ancestors.
It is important to note that a person's ancestry does not define them, nor does their nationality. In other words, we cannot assume that we know your personality or your tastes simply because of this data . However, if it is an individual who is very attached to the typical customs of his country of origin, and has grown up in a family that is also similar to those of his previous country, then it is possible that we will notice in his behavior certain common traits with many of his compatriots and people of equal ancestry.
Let's take the case of the search that is consumed in Argentina . It is a stew that is prepared with tripe or tripe (part of the cow's stomach), papa (potatoes), porotos (beans or beans) and other ingredients. This dish is of Italian descent , since it emerged in the Lombardy region.

Ancestry in astrology
In astrology , ancestry is linked to the individual's birth time . There is a sun sign that is defined by the date of birth, while the time at birth determines the ascendant sign . According to astrologers, ancestry influences behavior.
The ascendant can be calculated approximately or exactly . The first requires that the specialist know the time of birth and the geographical coordinates. For the exact calculation, an equation must be completed with the local sidereal time, the obliquity of the elliptical, and the latitude of the birthplace .
