How are Desmond's assassin ancestors related to each other?

I read somewhere (cannot find the link at the moment) that Altair, Ezio and the Kenways (including Connor) are not directly related to each other except through Desmond. Is there any family tree or something to show how he is related to them?

If the Kenways are on Desmond's father's side, could he not have gone in the Animus as well in Assassin's Creed 3?

And if the Kenways are on Desmonds fathers side, could he not have gone in the animus as well in Assassins Creed 3?

At one point in AC 3 Desmond angrily shouts that at his father

after it is revealed that Haytham is a templar

Right before his father

punches Desmond in the face (something long overdue).

So that suggests the Kenway's are on Desmond's fathers side (at least in Desmond's mind - his father neither confirms nor denies).

As for why his father couldn't go into the animus, it's strongly hinted that there is something special about Desmond. Perhaps it is the convergence of blood lines from his mother and fathers side?
