The right answer is “ancestor”

Explanation:

An ancestor is a person you are related, as your grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, who lived before you. Actually, you can think of them as the parent of your parent, or the parent of the parent of yours, and so on. Anyone who follows that line of parents is your ancestor.
