Here is the answer or the problem to your question.. Jewish heritage Did not have sur-names (last names) up too Napoleon rule. when he made it an order for Jews to take a last name.. so till then if my parents named me Tommy and i had a older brother named Jeff and a father name John.. My full name would be Tommy, brother of Jeff son of John (no brother).. I would be Tommy son of John.

You do realize that mythology is simply what we call old religion. It's pretty offensive to assume that the religion of old is a lie but that your apostles are real.

Interesting question. The big problem is that there were no family names for any of the Apostles so I think it is unlikely anyone could prove any link. If anybody could, I am sure they would be very famous and we would all know!

If any of the Apostles had children, they are not specifically named in the Gospels, so I think it would be hard to trace any direct descendants.

Any genealogies that go back that far usually are myths and legends. Even if they had surnames back then and the Bible mentioned their children, finding the documentation would be virtually impossible.

If you ever see genealogies on line that go back to Julius Ceasar, you won't see any documentation. It is just speculation.
