A recognized bloodline refers to a family that has made a name for itself within its clan usually through generations of noteworthy members. These families aren't officially acknowledged by any formal system but are well-known and respected—or sometimes infamous—among their clanmates. Recognition comes from the whispers and nods of other cats who remember the deeds, dramas, and legacies left by their ancestors. It's the kind of reputation that carries weight when someone says, "Oh, I know them; they're the grandchild of X," recalling tales of past warriors, oracles, or leaders that have influenced the clan's in some way, from being the family of a high rank, or a family of loyal warriors.
Outside of the royal bloodline and connections to other high ranking characters, such as the overseer, to have your character's bloodline to be considered "recognizable", they must fit these guidelines.
If the characters do not hold high positions in the clan (oracle or higher) or have done noteworthy acts known by the clan(s), the family must have three generations in the server, with two having been started IRP.
The majority of characters in the family must be used -- if they hardly exist in the roleplay, then there is no reason for their family to stand out.
