Queue a long time for family tree info? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lineage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'queue a long time' is the definition.
'lineage' can be an answer for 'queue' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'a long time' bit.

'family tree info?' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'line' (one's lineage).
'tree info?' becomes 'age' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'line'+'age'='LINEAGE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lineage that I've seen before include "Descent from ancestors" , "Line of descent or ancestry" , "Ancestry, sequence of descendants" , "Line of descendants of an ancestor" , "Direct descent" .)
