What tracing descent through the side of family?

It sounds like you're asking about tracing your lineage through a specific branch of your family, like your mother's side, father's side, or even a particular great-grandparent. This is known as tracing your ancestry or genealogical research.

Here's a breakdown of what you might be referring to:

* Patrilineal descent: Tracing your lineage through your father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc.

* Matrilineal descent: Tracing your lineage through your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc.

* Bilineal descent: Tracing your lineage through both your mother and father's sides.

* Collateral lineage: Tracing your lineage through siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.

To further clarify your question, it would be helpful to know:

* Which side of the family are you interested in? (e.g., mother's side, father's side, specific ancestor)

* What specific ancestor are you trying to trace?

* What are your goals for tracing this lineage? (e.g., finding out about family history, connecting with distant relatives, etc.)

Once you provide more information, I can give you more specific guidance on how to trace your ancestry through that branch of your family.
