My 65th Great Grandfather was

Joseph Ben Matthat van Arimathea.
Born 28 BCE Arimathea, Judea, Israel
Died 82 AD Abbey Glais, Glastonbury Wales.

Joseph was Mary's (younger) twin brother.

Apparently they were thrown out of Judea in a boat with no oars or sails. The boat came ashore is what is now Marseilles, France and they settled in pre-Roman Briton.

There are various opinions concerning his birth and ages stated by the arithmetically challenged. 28 BCE plus 82 CE/AD would make him 100 more or less when he died.

I am not making this up. I am just following the bread crumbs left by others.

Google it and see what you find.

I have 4960 persons in my family tree so far.

Most of the information comes from sources that allow certification/documentation.
