In genealogy and evolutionary biology, an ancestor, also known as a forefather, fore-elder, or a forebear, is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an antecedent (i.e., a grandparent, great-grandparent, great-great-grandparent and so forth). Ancestor is "any person from whom one is descended. In law, the person from whom an estate has been inherited."
An ancestor is any person from whom you are descended, going back through your parents, grandparents, and earlier generations. Understanding your ancestors matters because it helps you trace your family history and, in legal contexts, can determine who has inherited property or estates.
