Lineal descent means that anyone directly descended from original tribal enrollees could be eligible for tribal enrollment, regardless of how much native blood they have. A collateral descendant is a legal term for a relative descended from a brother or sister of an ancestor, and thus a niece, nephew, or cousin.
Collateral descendants are not part of your direct line; they are relatives descended from a sibling of an ancestor -- such as uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins.References.hether you're tracing the roots of your family tree or trying to determine descendent's of a family member for legal reasons, understanding the difference between lineal and collateral descendants is helpful.
