fidelis prosapiae meae
It works for "loyal to my lineage".

If you want more exactly "roots" (as it can have the same figurative meaning in Latin as in English):

(Semper) fidelis radicibus meis.
(Always) loyal to my roots.

Origini stirpis (mea) fidelis
Why both words origini stirpis, "to the origin of my stock"? Stirpi (stock) alone should suffice. (And typo: meae.)

Stirpi meae (semper) fidelis.

Why both words origini stirpis, "to the origin of my stock"? Stirpi (stock) alone should suffice.
Origo stirpis is an expression corresponding to "family roots/ origin of a family" (CCELD p. 696)
Such expression appears in works of Cornelius Nepos.
