Person from whom one is descended — no traces (anag) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ancestor

(Other definitions for ancestor that I've seen before include "Forefather" , "An escort (anag.)" , "not being of the modern generation" , "Antecedent, forebear" , "Enactors (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
