Lineage, parentage (8)

I believe the answer is:

ancestry

This clue is a double definition.

'lineage' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'parentage' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for ancestry that I've seen before include "Line of forebears" , "Line of descendants" , "Person's ethnic descent" , "race" , "Genealogy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
