Older family members get on after row (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lineage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'row' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'older family members get on after' is the wordplay.
'older family members' becomes 'line' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'get on' becomes 'age' (synonyms).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'line'+'age'='LINEAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lineage that I've seen before include "Ancestry, sequence of descendants" , "Descent from ancestors" , "Line of descendants of an ancestor" , "Genealogy" , "Descent (from an ancestor)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
