I am related to him directly as well as through an inlaw path. Please feel free to look at my tree.

Cervantes has only one daughter here. And none of his three known brothers have any spouses or children to be seen here (on Geni). So tracing the paternal line (if at all possible) could end up being very costly in both resources and time.

Per Britannica ( https://www.britannica.com/biography/Miguel-de-Cervantes/Translations ):

"...he had an affair with a young married woman named Ana de Villafranca (or Ana Franca de Rojas), the fruit of which was a daughter. Isabel de Saavedra, Cervantes's only child, was later brought up in her father's household."

So unfortunately, you cannot be a direct male-line descendant of Miguel.
