Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"?
Mesophar@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoIt’s just different use cases. A tree would show relations to the individual, a line just proves they descended from a particular person. Applications of it might be a bit outdated, but I don’t think there is any more reason to show relations in a tree than “oh, that’s neat”.

That tree actually provides quick and easy insight into who you’re related to. Which is quite helpful especially in smaller isolated communities
