Jesus' Genealogy is found in the Bible's Luke 3:23 and Matt 1:16.
Jesus is also claimed born in 4 B.C. (born (less than 2 years) shortly before the death of King Herod "the Great" in 4 B.C.? This 4 BC is an error linked to the wrong astrological event. In 1 BC-- there was also an eclipse of the Moon in January and December, hence December 1 BC is the probable event.Jesus was born at the beginning of Passover, evening before 15 Nisan, 1 B.C. The modern Mormon Prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr., identified the birth date as April 6th. (see John Pratt's research)
Died at about 3 P.M. on the 14th (or 15th) day of Nisan (April) again at the beginning of Passover.
Jesus built the first (wattle) alter/church in Britain at Glastonbury (Avalon), Wessex, England, and blessed it, and dedicated it to his Mother--Mary. Known as the "Our Lady's Dowry".
In the traditions of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire and Wales, it has ever been believed and definitely claimed, that Jesus as a boy traveled with his uncle "Joseph of Arimathea" to Britain (Isles of the sea) on at least one of his many seafaring trips; then later, as a young man. During those biblical silent years preceding His ministry it is avowed that Jesus, after leaving India, journeyed to Britain and there founded a retreat, building a wattle altar to the glory of God.
The ancient wise men of India assert that Jesus Christ had dwelt among them (known as Saint Issa) during his teenage years. It is mentioned in the Vishnu Purana that Jeus had visited the Himalayan Kindgom of Nepal. Moreover, the religious teachers of India were familiar with the Isles of Britain. The books of old India describe Britain as "The Sacred Isles of the West". One book refers to "Britashtan, the seat of religious learning". They employed the term used by Isaiah and others: "Isles of the West", "Isles of the Sea." The British Isles are the only islands lying to the far west of Palestine.
Centuries after Joseph's of Arimathea time, St. Augustine confirms the tradition of the wattle altar built by Jesus in a letter (Epistolae ad Gregoriam Papam) to the Pope, stating that the altar then existed. The wattle church was distroyed by fire around the 11th century.

Jesus Christ: Meridian Passover
Of course if this year-to-a-day pattern is used for religious events, we would expect it to apply to key events in the Savior's life. Here we are not disappointed. His birth occurred in the year 1 BC, which corresponds on this calendar to the day 14 ADAR2, the Feast of Esther. As this research began, it was not clear to me whether or not the Feast of Esther was an holiday on God's calendar, or only on the Jewish calendar. After all, many holy days have been added, and I needed to prove each one to see if God celebrates that holy day. It was when I discovered this correlation, and also that the name Esther means "a star," that I became convinced that this holy day is real. I had expected the Christ would be born in a Passover year, but what could be more appropriate that having him born in the year of the Feast of a Star? Apparently the Star of Bethlehem itself was prepared to join in the festivities.
An example of "meridian" symbolism is that when one reckons the Grand Year of 385 years in which Jesus was born from 1 TISHRI to 1 TISHRI, the year of his birth corresponds exactly to the middle year. That is, it is year 193 of 385.
It was both the Baptism and Beginning of the Public Ministry of Christ which occurred in the Passover year.[22] One full week of seven years corresponding to Passover week began at his baptism, and he was crucified precisely at the midpoint of that week. Every detail of the timing of the Savior's life seems to have taken into consideration at the Creation.Thursday, 6 April 1 B.C.
Since the organization of the LDS Church on 6 April 1830, members have been informed that Jesus was born on 6 April 1 B.C. (on our Gregorian calendar[11]). Modern scripture states that the church was organized 1,830 years "since the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh." (D&C 20:1.) It seems the Lord intended this verse to be accurate to the very day: both President Harold B. Lee and President Spencer W. Kimball have affirmed that 6 April on our calendar is the anniversary of the Savior's birth. (See Ensign, July 1973, p. 2; May 1980, p. 54.)
This date has an important confirmation in the Lord's pattern of the law of Moses that Christ would be born on the evening preceding 15 Nisan. Astronomical calculations show that 6 April of 1 B.C. was appropriate for Passover that year. In view of the tight symbolic connection of Passover to the birth of the firstborn discussed earlier, this is further strong support for the view that Jesus was born on the night of, or preceding, 6 April.[12]Beginning the Public Ministry: Saturday, 6 April A.D. 30.
The most likely date for the feast day (15 Nisan) on which the Savior began his ministry on his thirtieth birthday is Saturday, 6 April AD 30. The day 15 Nisan can fall on any date from about 21 March to 23 April, but it only falls on the same day of the solar year (that is, on 6 April) after certain intervals of time. One of those internals is thirty years. Even then, it does not happen after every thirty-year interval; it depends on the details of the moon's motion. But in this case, 6 April is clearly the most likely candidate for 15 Nisan in AD 30.
Mary Magdalene; i.e., tearful Christian saint.
She came from Magdala, a town located on the Sea of Galilee, just north of Tiberius. Along with Joanna, the wife of Herod Antipas's steward Chuza, and Susanna. Apparently all were women of some wealth, for they were able to provide for Jesus and the 12 apostles "out of their means" (Lk. 8:3).
The most prominent of the women who accompanied Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem.
A universal tradition identifies her with the repentant prostitute who anointed Jesus' feet with her tears. However, since Luke (7:37) does not give the name of the woman in that story and introduces Mary Magdalene almost immediately thereafter, it is not likely he considered them to be the same person. A more plausible conclusion is that Mary Magdalene, as a person of means and as a companion of the wife of Antipas's steward, was a woman of high social status and not the prostitute she was said to have been.
Some also identify her with Mary of Bethany. Feast: July 22. 3 Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus and Martha. She sat at Jesus' feet while Martha served.
She appears in the New Testament as a woman whose evil spirits (seven) are cast out by Jesus, as a watcher at the Cross, as an attendant at Jesus' burial, and as one of those who found the tomb empty.
She is named in all four Gospels as a witness to Jesus' crucifixion. She stood by Jesus as he was dying on the cross, saw him buried, and came to the empty tomb on the 3rd day. Mary Magdalene, along with Mary the James and Joseph, heard the news of the resurrection from an angel and was also the 1st to whom the risen Jesus appeared. "Do not be afraid," Jesus said, "go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me" (Mt. 28:10)
The most detailed version of Jesus' resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene is in the Gospel of John. Arriving at the tomb alone and finding it empty, she ran to tell Peter and the beloved disciple that "they have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him" (Jn 20:2). The two disciples raced to the tomb, saw that it was indeed empty, and noted that the grave clothes had been left neatly behind. Not year realizing the full significance of what they observed, the two went back to the city; Mary Magdalene remained at the tomb weeping. Suddenly two angels appeared to ask why she was weeping. "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him," she answered. But turning, she saw Jesus, mistook him for the gardener, and replied to his query as to why she was weeping and who she sought: "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus had only to call her by name for Mary to recognize him and address him as "Rabboni" (Jn. 20:13, 15-16). [Could it be because Jesus was her husband? Does a resurrected perfect being look the same as the mortal person?] Then, because she tried to embrace him [hug] Jesus said, "Do not hold me [or touch me not], for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my god and your God." And thus Mary Magdalene became the first to announce to the waiting disciples, "I have seen the Lord" (Jn 20:17-18)
She has come to symbolize the life of contemplative love of God.
If Jesus was married, she would be the logical choice for a wife. Jewish tradition has it that "Rabboni" a Jewish Rabbi or Master was required to be married.
Vézelay, France
The tiny walled town of Vézelay, another of France's exasperating number of heritage spots, is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in Burgundy - a patchwork of vineyards, sunflower fields, brunette furrows of farmland, and stacks of hay reinventing Impressionism. Originally built on a hilltop for defense purposes, it became an important site of pilgrimage in the 10th century, and later a gathering place for crowned heads and grandees embarking on the Crusades.
Vézelay's focal point is the Basilique Sainte Madeleine, a former abbey church that was founded in the 9th century. During the Middle Ages it housed what were believed to be the relics of St Mary Magdalene, which ensured a steady stream of pilgrims who came to commemorate her saint's day on 22 July. This tradition continues, and every year celebrations - including a procession in which the relics are paraded around town - are held. Magnificently restored, the church features a tympanum that is considered a masterpiece of Burgundian-style Romanesque architecture. Behind the basilica is a park that has wonderful views of the Cure River valley.
Vézelay is 15km from Avallon, 51km from Auxerre, and lies within the 1730 sq km Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan.
Ishmael "father of Arab nations"

He lived in the wilderness of Paran, became an expert at the
bow and arrow and married an Egyptian woman. His
descendants dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite
Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he "fell over against"
all his people.
