Patrilineality
Patrilineality, also asked as a male line, the spear side or agnatic kinship, is a common kinship system in which an individual's brand membership derives from as alive as is recorded through their father's lineage. It generally involves the inheritance of property, rights, names, or titles by persons related through male kin. This is sometimes distinguished from cognate kinship, through the mother's lineage, also called the spindle side or the distaff side.
A patriline "father line" is a person's father, and additional ancestors, as traced only through males.
Traditionally as well as historically people would identify the person's ethnicity with the father's heritage andthe maternal ancestry in the ethnic factor.
