Geoff:
An alternative take....

Since Cassandra Trelawney and Sybill Trelawney are directly related 
and share the same surname, this suggests direct lineage on the male 
side.

Theory:
Trelawney is Cassandra's married name. She wrote "Unfogging the 
future" before getting married, i.e. Vablatsky is her maiden name.
