Puzzled by - varonía

I am puzzled by VARONIA in the following sentence:

Sigue su descendencia en el capítulo Franco de Paredes, de su varonía.

Google translates the sentence as:

Follow their offspring in Chapter Franco Paredes, his varonía.

varonía = male descendants

Don't trust the machine translation.

Perhaps a better translation would be:
His descendants in the area/chapter Franco de Paredes follow, (only) his male descendants.

varonía = male issue

(it follows descendants having his Y chromosome, not just descendants that happen to be male)

Thanks everyone for helping me on this question. I have completed 15 pages of genealogy with another 30 ahead of me.

Again, GRACIAS
