It does mean the end of the male lineage in my branch of the family (from my grandfather). My only cousin had three daughters as well. That isn't particularly important to me, but for some people that's everything. My wife's paternal branch ends with her late father. She and her sister both had all daughters. In some countries that would be horrible, but none of us have any complaints.
