Lineage

Hi. I’m busy making a Lineage database and I’m wondering what people would call the basic levels I’ve got going on here:
| family_line | kinship_line | region_line | species_line +-------------+----------------------+-------------------------+---------------- | Baliot | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human LineagesSo it’s basically going from the specific to the general -->
So I think family line and species line are fairly straight forward for what to call them. But I’m not sure about kinship or region line. For instance even here it’s not really about the region it’s about a sort of vague grouping, and what if I wanted to use the same structure for a priestly line or something? Where that field would be something along the lines of ‘Cohanim’ for instance. Region line is even about the lines of connection so much as about their power base and legitimacy to control a ‘thing’.
Also I guess species can just be ‘species.’
family_line | kinship_line | hierarch_order | species -------------+----------------------+-------------------------+--------- Baliot | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Kagan | Cohanim | Priesthood of the Jews | Human Strauss | Levy | Priesthood of the Jews | HumanSo it would be something like that (just using an example we are all familiar with Except may it should be Tribe Levy instead of ‘Priesthood of the Jews’ and have Cohen and Levy as Kinship)? I think kinship_line is ok for a name to call it. What should I actually be calling ‘hierarch_order’?
Or perhaps it should be more like this?:
family_line | kinship_line | hierarch_order | species -------------+----------------------+-------------------------+--------- Baliot | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Cohen | Tribe of Levy | Priesthood of the Jews | Human Levy | Tribe of Levy | Priesthood of the Jews | Human -
This is what I got so far:
family_line | kinship_line | hierarch_order | species -------------+-----------------------+----------------------------+--------- Baliot | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Lorease | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Auno Troa | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Uelthon | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Celase | Cobalt High Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Rasaes | Merr Holy Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Ard | Merr Holy Families | Imperial Royal Lineages | Human Tharnyl | Patriotes Agnoa Morfa | Avjunct Principas Imperius | Human Thalaestai | Patriotes Agnoa Morfa | Avjunct Principas Imperius | Human Blevunoe | Patriotes Agnoa Morfa | Avjunct Principas Imperius | Human Eblersoph | Noth Fexo Goeish | Majikar Lineages | Human Vina | Noth Fexo Goeish | Majikar Lineages | Human
