Lineage, ancestry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pedigree

I believe this is a double definition.

'lineage' is the first definition.
(pedigree is a kind of lineage)

'ancestry' is the second definition.
(pedigree is a kind of ancestry)

(Other definitions for pedigree that I've seen before include "Line of decent or ancestry" , "Lineage of purebred animal" , "Of animals, recorded line of descent" , "List of ancestors" , "(Pure) ancestry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
