Have you checked into Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn, at the website below.  His process doesn't seem to be completely online, but it looks to be the closest you can come.

Palestinan and Israel conflict.  Jews moved on their land during WW11.  Divided over who gets Jeruselem and holy areas.  Just an idea.

We know from Jewish records of familiy history that Mary was born at home, but after being weaned from her mother, she was sent to live in the temple, as were many other girls and boys during this time and culture.\n\nShe was raised and educated in the temple until she was close to puberty.  Boys could live in the temple past puberty, but girls could not, as they would be defiling the temple at the onset of puberty as per levitical law.\n\nWhen she was brought back home, her parents set out to marry her off and Joseph was the one chosen to be her husband.  From this point on, there was a one year waiting period in which she would continue to live at home and wait for Joseph to come and claim his bride.\n\nThere is actually more of Mary's childhood written in the Quran (copied from Jewish records) than in the bible. I find that quite interesting especially from those who claim that the bible was put together by Catholics for Catholics, as they would have put everything they could have about Mary if they had put the bible together.\n\nThere are also some false writing that have endured over the years about both Mary and Joseph.  You would have to compare them to secular records of times of births and deaths to try and judge truthfullness and accuracy.\n\nI have not researched Joseph's background and truthfully there is not much available for research.  There is a lot of speculation, but not much authentic truth to go on.

Kailey - Variatn of KAYLEY:\nIrish surname - derives from the Gaelic word caol "slender".\n\nAnn\nFrench form of HANNAH. This is the name traditionally assigned to the mother of the Virgin Mary, though she is not mentioned in the Bible. The name was borne by a 17th-century English queen and also by the second wife of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn (the mother of Queen Elizabeth I), who was eventually beheaded in the Tower of London.\n\nGanevsky\nMeans you're a Pollock!

No Jews can trace their lineage back that far, due to the destruction of Jerusalem around A.D. 70. If he claims to be descended from Ishmael or Esau, though, I suppose that may be possible. But I doubt it.

Don't get me started on this subject. I believe and some historians agree that the only true originals of that area of the world is the Palestinians every Jew is not genetically connect to the original people only religously.\nNotice most of the Jews that came back to "take back their land" came there from European countries. I have no problems with Jews at all but the facts are most Jews of wealth and knowledge were taken away by the Romans in the \ndays of Roman rule  inter-bred wth  the local people and convert some to Judaism.This is over 2000 years!\n The ones that stayed were invaded by others and eventually became Islamic and called themselves Palestinian.\nThe only reason the major countries of the world support Israel is because the Jews control the banking industry of the world.They got the money! I told you not to get me started.

Why not? If you look at the original Hebrew it's probably as close or closer to the Spanish as the English.\n\nActually Santiago is Saint James. Diego (sounds like Jago) is the usual Spanish for James.\n\nThere are many Hebrew names which have travelled all over Europe and the Middle East and changed along the way. For example, Hebrew Yonatan is shortened to Yoni which is Ioanni or Ioannis in Greek, Hani or Hanna in Arabic, Ivan in Russian, Johannes or Johann in German and Swedish, Jan in Polish and Dutch, John in English, Ian in Scottish, Sean in Irish, Ioan in Welsh, Jean in French, Juan in Spanish, Joao in Portuguese and, er, Giovanni in Italian.
