Two individuals have a genetic relationship if one is the ancestor of the other or if they share a common ancestor; in a curious use of language in evolutionary theory, this is called common descent. (Strictly speaking this may not be true for some bacteria and similar organisms which are capable of direct horizontal gene transfer.) Genetics (from the Greek genno γεννώ= give birth) is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms. ... Charles Darwin, the father of modern evolutionary theory In the life sciences, evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations, including the emergence of new species. ... A group of organisms is said to have common descent if they have a common ancestor. ...

The progenitor is the oldest known ancestor for a given line.
The progenitors for all of aforementioned New England KNOWLES lines are apparently from England.
In addition, there is the so-called White County, Tennessee, KNOWLES whose progenitor immigrated originally to Pennsylvania from Ireland, but migrated south to Virginia and ultimately to Tennessee after the Revolutionary War.
The Aldean Progenitors built the Custodian, an interactive supercomputer, on the planet Aldea centuries ago.
In 2364, with the intervention of the crew of the Enterprise-D, the Aldeans re-discovered how the Custodian worked, and began to relearn all their skills.
It is unknown who the Aldean progenitors were, but it is likely that they were an advanced race, who prepared the planet for the Aldean settlers, in a similar way that the Caretaker provided for the Ocampa.
