      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
