What is Macbeth's ancestry?

Duncan is not only Macbeth's king, but also his first cousin. In Act 1 Scene 7, Macbeth calls him his "kinsman". Because Macbeth was closely related to the king, he had a chance to be his successor (under the Scottish law of the time, a successor was chosen from among the king's relatives; the crown did not pass to the king's children unless they were thought to be worthy.)
