ancestor's
From a progenitor
Ancestor's is the possessive form of ancestor—someone from whom you descend, typically more distant than a grandparent.
The possessive indicates belonging or association: my ancestor's homeland, an ancestor's recipe passed down through generations.
It can also appear in phrases about inherited traits or property: She inherited her ancestor's red hair.
