bloodline

A bloodline refers to a family's ancestry or heritage.

When people talk about a bloodline, they usually mean the history and traditions of their family. This can include things like famous ancestors, cultural practices passed down through generations, or even distinctive physical characteristics that run in families. For example, you might hear someone say "I come from a long line of musicians" or "Our family has always been known for our love of cooking." They're talking about their bloodline – the way their family's history and traditions shape who they are today.
