With reference to the nature and degree of the consanguinity, descent was said to be lineal when it took place from an ancestor to a descendant("e. g. ", from father to son) or "vice versa".(Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 600) 1, record 2, English, - lineal%20descent

Degrees of consanguinity. The degrees of blood relationship with the deceased are as follows : The deceased's children are in the first degree and his parents are in the first degree in the ascending scale; his brothers and sisters are in the second degree and his grandparents are in the second degree in the ascending scale; nieces and nephews, uncles and aunts are in the third degree, and so on. In direct lineal descent, however, a rule of law overrides the degree of relationship, for issue of deceased issue to the remotest degree "represent" their deceased parent and take his share... Even though an inheritance may ascend, it is still called descent.(Anger & Honsberger, "Canadian Law of Real Property", 1959, p. 711) 1, record 3, English, - degree%20of%20consanguinity
