I have been searching and I have found the term "ancestors", but I am not sure if this is the appropiate term.
Thanks for your help.

: Your first reference, and your first "example sentence", say "ascendant". And I wouldn't call my father or grandfather an ancestor or forebear.

ancestor
El término ascendiente puede traducirse como ancestor. Dicho término según el Black's Law Dictionary es: one from whom a person lineally
descended or may be descended; a progenitor. Por otro lado, ancestor y ascendant son prácticamente sinónimos. El motivo por el cual elegí ancestor es porque, de acuerdo al Books Ngram Viewer de google, dicho término tiene mayor frecuencia de uso que ascendant en la actualidad.

Good point, it is true that ascendant is used in the legal language, but I chose the term ancestor because of the frequency of use.

ASCENDANTS
TheLaw.com Law Dictionary & Black's Law Dictionary 2nd Ed.
Persons with whom one is related in the ascending line; one’s parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.
Law Dictionary – Alternative Legal Definition
Those from whom a person is descended, or from whom he derives his birth, however remote they may be. 2. Every one has two ascendants at the first degree, his father and mother; four at the second degree, his paternal grandfather and grandmother, and his maternal grandfather and grandmother; eight at the third. Thus in going up we ascend by various lines which fork at every generation. By this progress sixteen ascendants are found at the fourth degree; thirty-two, at the fifth sixty-four, at the sixth; one hundred and twenty-eight at the seventh, and so on; by this progressive increase, a person has at the twenty-fifth generation, thirty-three millions five hundred and fifty-four thousand, four hundred and thirty-two ascendant’s. But as many of the ascendants of a person have descended from the same ancestor, the lines which were forked, reunite to the first common ancestor, from whom the other descends; and this multiplication thus frequently interrupted by the common ancestors, may be reduced to a few persons. Vide Line.
