I have two sources of information.
1. Ancestry and 2. Geni.com

I try to audit what I am being told and the potential relative that led to Adam and Eve turned out to be suspect, so I repaired the relationship and deleted a bunch of suspect relatives.

Do you believe written stories based on a long period of oral history? The Gospels were written upwards of a century after the fact. Do we believe what is written or do we believe what is written because of editing/translations feeding self interest.

There is a long oral story involving Tin Mining in Cornwall UK.

Apparently my 63rd Great Grandfather was a rich Tin Merchant.

Joseph ben Matthat van Arimathea
3 Feb 20 BCE Arimathea, Judea, Israel 
27 Jun 82 AD/CE Abbey Glais Glastonbury Wales.

He is reported to be the uncle of Mary.
He adopted Jesus because he male parent was not readily identified.

The story is that during the 30 years in which the Bible provides no details that Joseph took Jesus with him to Cornwall.

Do we reject all "history" that is sourced from oral tradition?

I am just following the bread crumbs.

If you Goggle "Tin Mines of Cornwall and Devon", there will be a section on the legend of Saint Joseph of Arimathea.
