edit: The reason I find it an odd term is because human ancestry literally doesn’t follow a line. It always branches off, even if only to just include two parents. It’s a tree like structure, a line would misrepresent it

Thank you!
Glad to help.
It’s a weird concept outside of inheritance - for example, a royal bloodline could end because the regent dies without children. Because the upstream follows the ruler, you might have to backtrack up the bloodline to find the next heritor, which you’d call a branch bloodline
But in modern life? It’s kinda pointless as a concept. We care about heredity and family, not bloodlines
That’s what someone from a weak bloodline would say.
