Guru Nanak Lineage

If you mean Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s lineage in the sense of the Dasam Granth/Ram-vansh tradition, I can explain the traditional genealogy connecting Sri Ram → Lava/Kusha → Sodhi/Bedi lineages → Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh.

If you mean Guru Nanak’s historical family lineage, then Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born to Mehta Kalu (Kalyan Chand Bedi) and Mata Tripta of Talwandi (Nankana Sahib), and belonged to the Bedi Khatri lineage.

Which one do you want: the Dasam Granth/Lav-Kush genealogy, or Guru Nanak’s historical family genealogy?

Yes. If you mean the genealogical tree described in Bachittar Natak of the Dasam Granth, the broad tree is as follows. The text connects the Sikh Gurus’ Bedi/Sodhi lineages to the traditional Suryavanshi/Raghuvanshi lineage of Raja Ram, through Lava and Kusha.

The important point

According to this Dasam Granth narrative:

• Raja Ram → Luv and Kush

• The descendants associated with Luv become the Sodhi line.

• The descendants associated with Kush become the Bedi line after becoming learned in the Vedas.

• Guru Nanak Dev Ji is presented as belonging to the Bedi line.

• Guru Angad Dev Ji belonged to the Trehan clan.

• Guru Amar Das Ji belonged to the Bhalla clan.

• Guru Ram Das Ji belonged to the Sodhi clan.

• From Guru Ram Das Ji onward, the succeeding Gurus through Guru Gobind Singh Ji are described as his Sodhi descendants. 

There is also a particularly interesting part in Bachittar Natak: the Bedi chief gives a blessing to the Sodhi king, saying that in the Kali age he would be known as Nanak, and the Sodhi would eventually receive the Guruship. The narrative then describes the Guruship passing Nanak → Angad → Amar Das → Ram Das, followed by the Sodhi Gurus. 

One important qualification: this is the genealogical account presented in the Dasam Granth tradition, not a modern historically verified biological genealogy. The exact historical ancestry of these ancient figures is a separate question.

If you want, I can next show you the actual Bachittar Natak verses, line-by-line, from Ram → Luv/Kush → Bedi/Sodhi → Nanak → Ram Das → Gobind Singh, including the original Gurmukhi and Hindi explanation.
