I don’t understand the problem, the query shouldn’t need to get much
more complicated… what kind of query did you have in mind? Here’s a
simple one for all ancestors of Frodo Baggins
<https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20DISTINCT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20wd%3AQ177329%20%28wdt%3AP22%7Cwdt%3AP25%29%2a%20%3Fitem.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%7D>:


SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel WHERE {
  wd:Q177329 (wdt:P22|wdt:P25)* ?item.
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language
"[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
}


Cheers,

Lucas
