Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Matthew 1: 2-16 lists the genealogy of Jesus for 24 generations from Abraham down to Jesus by way of Joseph's family!. Luke 3: 23-38 lists the male ancestors of Jesus in Mary's family tree starting with Adam!. Some biblical scholars believe this is because Matthew wanted to emphasize Jesus' royal lineage while Luke wanted to emphasize Christ's priestly ancestry!. The lists are identical between Abraham and David, but they differ from this point!. Interestingly enough, Matthew's family tree also includes five female ancestors of Jesus: Tamar, Ruth, Rahab, Bathsheba, and Mary!.

Upon googling "genealogy of Jesus", I quickly discovered at least five pages of entries discussing this topic (and stopped browsing), but I am only listing the first (Wikipedia) entry!.

A simplified verson of Jesus' family tree (through Joseph's line) for five generations back would read!.

Jesus (abt 3 BCE -- 30 CE) b!. Bethlehem, Judea; d!. Jerusalem, Judea; buried (and rose again) Jerusalem tomb of Joseph of Arimathea (possible maternal uncle and member of the Sanhedrin)!.

Occupation: carpenter, rabbi (founder of Jewish sect known as Christianity)

Mother: Mary, daughter of Joachim and Anne
Step father: Joseph of Nazareth, a carpenter, of the House and Lineage of David, son of Jacob (or Heli)

Joseph's first wife: Salome
(Half) Siblings (!?): Jude
Joses
Simon
Jude
Salome
Esther
unnamed third sister


Jacob (or Heli), son of Matthan
Matthan, son of Elizar

Good luck getting everyone !. Check the first chapter of the Gospel of Matthew!. You can get some info there!. This is as much as I know off the top of my head

Jesus born to Mary and Joseph!. Joseph's father was named Jacob!. Mary's parents were Ann and Joachim!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The full genealogy of Christ starting with Abraham can be found in the Bible!. It is found in Matthew chapter 1!. Trust me, I am a Seminary student God bless you as you study about Him

Since Jesus is a fictional character and everything about him was made up by religious writers over the centuries you will have to do the same!. There's nothing to "figure out" because there isn't any evidence the fellow ever lived at all!. Might as well find five generations of Mickey Mouse, he's a fairy tale to scare children just like trolls!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
