Descendants are relatives of a person that down from one generation to the next. Parent to child to grandchild to great-grandchild. As you can see, the direction is a descending one. This is best illustrated using the standard family tree depiction of a person's relatives. A person's children and grandchildren and so on are shown one below the other in a descending direction. The opposite of a descendant is an ascendant. This is a person's parent, grandparent, great-grandparent and on in an ascending order.
