The below codes explains how to use xpath ancestor in your selenium code. I wrote code snippet here in java programming language.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class SeleniumAncestorEx2 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
  driver.get("file:///D:\\ancestor.html");
  WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
    .xpath("//div[@id='div4']"));
  String id=element.getAttribute("id"); 
  System.out.println("required element id" + id); 
  element = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::div[1]")); 
  System.out.println("above one level the parent element id of id \""+id +"\" is :"+element.getAttribute("id"));
  id=element.getAttribute("id"); 
  element = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::div[1]")); 
  System.out.println("above one level the parent element id of id \""+id +"\" is :"+element.getAttribute("id"));
  id=element.getAttribute("id"); 
  element = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::div[1]")); 
  System.out.println("above one level the parent element id of id \""+id +"\" is :"+element.getAttribute("id"));
  element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@id='div4']"));
  id=element.getAttribute("id");
  element = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::div[3]"));
  System.out.println("outer most parent div element id of id \""+id +"\" is :"+element.getAttribute("id"));
  
 }  
}

<html>
<body>
<div id="div1">
<div id="div2">
<div id="div3">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div id="div4">Ancestor Check</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

you can save the above html content as ancestor.html and refer that in above java code.
Output:
above one level the parent element id of id "div4" is :div3
above one level the parent element id of id "div3" is :div2
above one level the parent element id of id "div2" is :div1
outer most parent div element id of id "div4" is :div1
You can also refer basic example of ancestor in below link

The below codes explains how to use xpath ancestor in your selenium code. I wrote code snippet here in java programming language.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class SeleniumAncestorEx {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

  driver.get("file:///D:\\ancestor.html");
  WebElement element = driver.findElement(By
    .xpath("//div[@id='innerDiv1']"));

  System.out.println("inner element id" + element.getAttribute("id"));
  element = element.findElement(By.xpath("./ancestor::div[@id='div1']"));
  System.out.println("ancestor element id  : " + element.getAttribute("id"));
 }
}

<html>
<body>
 <div id="div1">
  <table>
   <tr>
    <td>
     <div id="innerDiv1">Ancestor Check</div>
    </td>
   </tr>
  </table>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

you can save the above html content as ancestor.html and refer that in above java code. After running the above program and observing the output, you can clearly understand the usage.
