GENEALOGIES:
A Master Number beginning with three digits is given to the direct line
descending stem.  All other descending lineages are ordered according to
where they connect into the direct line of descent as sons or daughters.
They have a dash (-) to show the connection.  The Numbers are arranged
by time of birth in the family, where possible, with the direct descendant
being placed where he or she belongs by order of birth.  In cases of long
and questionable pedigrees, the lineage is shown descending down, but
with no numbering system attached.  Added commentary is author's opinion.
The Children of 024: JACOB - ISRAEL
024-004:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 025: The BOOK [Stick] of JUDAH

INTRODUCTION:
Ezek. 37: 16-19  Moreover, thou son of man [Ezekiel], take thee one astick,
and bwrite upon it, For cJudah, and for the children of Israel his companions:
then take another stick, and dwrite upon it, For eJoseph, the fstick of Ephraim,
and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another
into one stick; and they shall become aone in thine hand.  And when the children
of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us awhat thou
meanest by these?  Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
take the stick of aJoseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of
Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah,
and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.  1 Ne. 13: 37-42
And ablessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my bZion at that day, for
they shall have the cgift and the dpower of the Holy Ghost; and if they eendure
unto the end they shall be flifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the
everlasting gkingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall hpublish peace, yea, tidings
of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.  And it came to
pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the abook
of the Lamb of God, which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew,
that it came forth from the Gentiles bunto the remnant of the seed of my brethren.
And after it had come forth unto them I beheld aother bbooks, which came forth
by the power of the Lamb, from the Gentiles unto them, unto the cconvincing
of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the Jews
who were scattered upon all the face of the earth, that the records of the prophets
and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are dtrue.  And the angel spake unto me,
saying: These alast records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall
bestablish the truth of the cfirst, which are of the dtwelve apostles of the Lamb,
and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken
away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the eSavior of the
world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.  And
they must come according to the words which shall be established by the mouth
of the Lamb; and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of
thy seed, as well as in the arecords of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; where-
fore they both shall be established in bone; for there is cone God and one
dShepherd over all the earth.  And the time cometh that he shall manifest
himself unto all nations, both unto the aJews and also unto the Gentiles;
and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
and the blast shall be first, and the cfirst shall be last.

The Kings of Judah and their posterity are evaluated.  Modern claims
of genealogical attachment to the biblical records are noted, with remarks.


025:   JUDA - JUDAH - JUDAS (the son of JACOB - ISRAEL)

Family of Juda - Judah - Judas:
- Juda - Judah - Judas
Marriage:
Gen. 38: 12  The daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah;
[Prostitute relationship with] Tamar, by whom twin sons.  "Joseph's half-brother
Judah had three sons by a Canaanite wife named Shuah and twin sons by
Tamar, whose ancestry is unknown (Genesis 38:2–30).  Of the half-Canaanite
sons, only one (Shelah) lived long enough to have posterity, but his mtDNA
would be unlike that of his half-brothers, Pharez and Zarah, unless their mothers
were sisters (Genesis 46:12; Numbers 26:19–21).  From Pharez descended
Salmon, who married the Canaanite woman Rahab, who had been spared
with her father's household during the Israelite destruction of the city of
Jericho in Joshua's day.  Their son was Boaz, who married the Moabitess
Ruth, who became the great-grandmother of King David and, consequently,
of all the kings of Judah and of Jesus Christ himself (Ruth 4:18–22;
Matthew 1:2–16).  While most of the kings of Judah from whom Christ is
descended married women of the same tribe or of other Israelite tribes,
this is not true of all of them.  For example, Rehoboam, son of Solomon,
was born of a woman named Naamah, who was an Ammonitess (1 Kings 14:21,
31; 2 Chronicles 12:13).  Genesis 40:10 informs us that Simeon had a Canaanite
wife, but nothing is said of the other wives of Jacob's sons or their origins,
although it seems likely that they also married outside Abraham's kin group.
The children and grandchildren of Jacob who are mentioned in the biblical
account number seventy, but this does not include daughters and granddaughters.
Although nothing is specifically said on the matter, it is not unreasonable to
assume that Jacob's people included servants and their families as well.9
One thing, however, seems certain: all of Jacob's grandchildren inherited
their mtDNA from their mothers, who were likely non-Israelite."  FARMS Review:

A. D&C 113: 1-6  The aStem of Jesse is Christ; the arod is a servant in the hands
of Christ, who is partly a descendant of Jesse as well as of aEphraim, or of the
house of Joseph, on whom there is laid much bpower; the aroot is a adescendant
of Jesse, as well as of Joseph, unto whom rightly belongs the bpriesthood, and
the ckeys of the kingdom, for an densign, and for the gathering of my people
in the elast days.  D&C 85: 3-11  . . . And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord
God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand,
clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words;
while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in aorder the house of God,
and to arrange by blot the cinheritances of the saints whose names are found,
and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of
the law of God . . .  D&C 103: 15-20  Behold, I say unto you, the aredemption
of Zion must needs come by power; Therefore, I will raise up unto my people
a man, who shall alead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.  For ye
are the children of Israel, and of the aseed of Abraham, and ye must needs
be bled out of cbondage by power, and with a stretched-out arm.  And as your
fathers were aled at the first, even so shall the redemption of Zion be.  There-
fore, let not your hearts faint, for I say not unto you as I said unto your fathers:
Mine aangel shall go up before you, but not my bpresence.  But I say unto you:
Mine aangels shall go up before you, and also my bpresence, and in time ye
shall cpossess the goodly land.

 D&C 132: 38  David also received amany wives and concubines,
and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others
of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time;
and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received
not of me.
1 Kgs. 11: 1-13  BUT king aSolomon loved many bstrange cwomen,
together with the ddaughter of ePharaoh, women of the Moabites,
Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; . . . Solomon clave
unto these in love.  And he had seven hundred wives, princesses,
and three hundred concubines: and his awives turned away his heart.
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his awives turned
away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with
the LORD his God, bas was the heart of David his father. . . . And
likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and
sacrificed unto their gods.  Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon,
Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my acovenant
and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend
the bkingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

B.  GENEALOGY CONNECTIONS TO THE BRITISH ISLES
Josephus mentions in Ant. Jud., (XVII, 13, 2; II, 7, 3 and XVIII, 7, 2),
the banishment of Archelaus to Vienne in Gaul in the year A.D. 6, as well
as Herod Antipas to Lyons in the year A.D. 39. The Babylonian Talmud,
Vol. 8, Seder Nashim, Chapter I, Gittin, pages 1 and 26-27, mentions
foreign parts was defined Lit[erally] as the 'province of the sea', a name
given to all countries outside of Palestine and Babylonia. A review is
made of how to reckon Eretz Israel, concerning the case of a boat in
the open sea.  [For determining the status of] the islands in the sea, . . .
And for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border;
this shall be your west border (Numbers 34:6).  [To determine the status
of] the islands on the border line, {4} (i.e., due west of the coast beyond
the southern and northern extremities of the border of Palestine), we
imagine a line drawn [due west] from Kapluria {5} (at the northern
extremity of Mount Hor), to the [Atlantic] Ocean, and another from the
Brook of Egypt to the [Atlantic] Ocean.  All within these lines belong to
Eretz Israel and all outside to foreign parts, the 'province of the sea'.

Temple and Endowments - Raising Grain and Building Storehouses
- Dedication  A Discourse by President Heber C. Kimball, delivered
in the Bowery, Great Salt Lake City, April 6, 1857 . . . I was in a place
in England in which I felt very curious; but I did not know at the time
what it meant.  I went through a town called Chadburn [Chatburn],
beyond Clithero, [Lancashire, England].  I went through the streets
of that town feeling as I never before felt in my life.  My hair would
rise on my head as I walked through the streets, and I did not then
know what was the matter with me.  I pulled off my hat, and felt that
I wanted to pull off my shoes, and I did not know what to think of it.

 When I returned, I mentioned the circumstance to brother Joseph,
who said, "Did you not understand it?  That is a place where some
of the old Prophets travelled and dedicated that land, and their
blessing fell upon you."  Acts 10  Peter in a vision is commanded
to take the gospel to the Gentiles, which was after the death of
Jesus Christ, who lived thirty and three years.  About ten or more
years later, circa A.D. 44, would be the approximate time for this
dedication to occur.  Genealogical pedigree attachments to the Kings
of Britain, noted extensively on Internet online pedigrees, are not
validated.   They are legendary fabrications, placed incorrectly within
historical settings.  Any British Gentile personal intimate contacts or
intermarriages, with early Christian Jewish church members would
have been forbidden and prohibited, prior to circa A.D. 45.

C.  The (The SONG of SOLOMON - BIBLE) is not an inspired writing.

D.  As noted in Ancient and Medieval Jewish History, edited by
Leon A. Feldman, (1972), it cannot be denied that over the centuries,
Palestine exported not only its excellent fruits, wine, and grapes but also
grains.  It is known that there were large imports of manufactured articles
and the importation of metals was a significant part of the economy.  From
an economic standpoint, since Palestine paid for all these imports with the
excess of its agricultural production, maximum return on the dollar
[figuratively speaking], was also a key criteria in ancient times.  The
population of Ancient Israel, circa 1000 B.C., has been approximated as
Judah (450,000), Israel (1,350,000) and all of ancient Israel (1,800,000),
with conquered peoples (3,000,000).  The City of Jerusalem was estimated
as having a 15,000 to 20,000 total population.

E.  "Patterns of Mobility Among Ancient Near Eastern Craftsmen",
by Carlo Zaccagnini, of the University of Bologna, Journal of Near
Eastern Studies, Vol. 42, Number 4 (October 1983), notes the sending of
specialized workers is well attested in the framework of the diplomatic
relations of kings of the Late Bronze Age.  The skilled workers were
viewed as prestige goods, strictly bound to the organization of the temple
and palace economic structure and are a direct consequence of the process
of surplus accumulation.  Usually, the juridical status of artisans in metallurgy,
etc., was of free, lifetime administrative status.  Construction on the Temple
at Jerusalem was completed circa 991 B.C.  Phoenician lettering has been
found on the bottom layer of stones, near the S.E. corner of the Jerusalem
Temple Mount [The Holy Temple Revisited, (1990)].

F.  The Jewish merchant class followed King Solomon's example
and cemented local protection of their Diaspora group, by entering
into marriages and having concubine contract agreements with local
royalty and families in positions of authority.  King Solomon had at sea
a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram [King of Tyre, the capital
of ancient Phoenicia]: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish,
bringing gold, and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.

David W. Tandy mentions in Warriors into Traders, The Power of the
Market in Early Greece, published 1997, that the tenth century [B.C.]
relationship between Hiram and Solomon shows Hiram sending supplies
of cedar and fir trees, gold and even laborers, and Solomon reciprocating
with thousands of measures of wheat each year and other gifts.  This is
corroborated by an early Egyptian historical document showing also the
import of "forty ships of cedar logs", during the reign of Sneferu.
When the Temple was completed, Solomon gave Hiram, King of Tyre,
twenty "cities" in Galilee.  Hiram, though displeased, reciprocated by
sending King Solomon six score talents of gold.  Dynastic contacts of
Gentile Royalty with the priesthood royalty and military descendants of
Abraham, are noted in the national history of the Jews, back to the time
of Balaam.  The concept of the God - Man Messiah: "there shall come
a bStar out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel", was conveyed
through commercial enterprise to the various Gentile Nations, the source
from which the Greeks created their own fabulous legends: historic fiction
handed down within Greek Mythology.

Herodotus  re-dates the classical Greek connections as historical,
no earlier than four hundred years prior to his lifetime, or circa
1000 to 900  B.C.:
"Whence the gods severally sprang, whether or no they had
all existed from eternity, what forms they bore- these are
questions of which the Greeks knew nothing until the other day,
so to speak.  For Homer and Hesiod were the first to compose
Theogonies, and give the gods their epithets, to allot them their
several offices and occupations, and describe their forms;
and they lived but four hundred years before my time, as I believe.
As for the poets who are thought by some to be earlier than these,
they are, in my judgment, decidedly later writers.  In these matters
I have the authority of the priestesses of Dodona for the former
portion of my statements; what I have said of Homer and Hesiod
is my own opinion."

052-002:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 053: BOOK - MULEK
                  In the Book of Mormon, (another Testament of Jesus Christ),
                  Mulek arrived from Jerusalem, circa 600 B.C., with his later
                  posterity living within the Western Hemisphere.  The City of Mulek
                  was located on the east borders by the seashore, or Gulf of Mexico,
                  in the Central American region.  The City of Mulek was located on
                  the eastern side of the Continental Divide watershed, that runs from
                  the Seward Peninsula in Alaska, down to the tip of South America.
                  It is crossed at the narrow neck of land by the Panama Canal.  The
                  Hemispheric Geography Model of the Book of Mormon, assigns to
                  the isthmus of Panama, the designation of the "narrow neck of land".
                  The "land northward" is indicated as being North America and the
                  "land southward" being South America.  However, consider the
                  underwater extension of the coastal plain, called the continental
                  shelf.  Within the Book of Mormon record is testimony of catastrophic
                  alterations of land and sea locations, during the approximate three
                  hour time period designated as occurring during the death of Jesus.
                  The continental shelf is an underwater extension of the coastal plain,
                  which would have been involved in the burial of cities in water;
                  also, mountains and hills and other land deformities occurred,
                  simultaneously.  Using the current extensions of the Central and
                  South American continental shelf, ( as part of the depressed areas
                  of surface land masses occurring at the death of Jesus Christ: those
                  areas which swallowed up cities ), would anciently position the
                  narrow neck of land farther north into Central America.  Northern
                  South America, Central America, and the Gulf of Mexico coasts
                  must have been more gentle in slope, land surface and height,
                  with apparent larger coastal plains that extended farther into the
                  Gulf of Mexico, at the coming of Mulek.  Furthermore, at the coming
                  of Christ to the American Continent, the Book of Mormon testifies that
                  chosen witnesses lived to old age and the population as a whole was
                  healed; thus, in top medical condition.  Evidence is given stating a
                  continuation of a superior unified society that lasted for hundred of
                  years, beginning with an initial surviving group of many thousands. 
                  With such ideal conditions, including constant capacity to maintain
                  ideal health conditions, as well as the maximum coupling of all posterity
                  (low to zero infant mortality) and extended life cycles, the population
                  growth of this Christian Nation magnifies into mega millions of individuals,
                  out migrating far beyond local geographic Mesoamerica, into all regions
                  of South, Central and North America: the land of Zion.

Research Notes:
A.  LIST of BOOK of MORMON PEOPLE

B.  LEHI
 In the Book of Mormon, (another Testament of Jesus Christ), the
family of Lehi and his associates came from Jerusalem circa 600 B.C.,
taking a route near the seacoasts, down the area of the Red or Arabian
Sea.  Anciently, there were spice routes running parallel to both sides
of the Red Sea, by which way merchants brought their products to Egypt
for use in the art of embalming their dead and for burning in ritual and
domestic contexts.  [Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Vol. 13, No. 2,
July 1994, "Incense, Camels and Collared Rim Jars: Desert Trade
Routes and Maritime Outlets in the Second Millennium, pages 121-148,
with the proposed incense trade routes shown in Figure 11, page 132.] 
The prophet Lehi and his group, in particular his son Nephi, built boats
and traveled across the Pacific Ocean.

Lehi belonged to an elite Jewish merchant class.  He possessed gold,
silver, tents and other precious things, suggesting commercial knowledge
in the transportation of goods and services.  Lehi was of the House of
Joseph in Egypt, as was Laban.  Laban had in his possession, the record
of the Jews and the genealogy of the forefathers written upon brass plates.
Laban was a mighty man [high military officer of the Jerusalem region],
who commanded fifty servants [soldiers] on a regular basis.  He could be
called upon in time of emergency to lead tens of thousands in military
combat ("Laban and his fifty, yea, or even than his tens of thousands"). 
Laban associated with the elite leaders of Jerusalem, personally eating
and drinking with the Elders of the City.

The untimely demise of this chief military leader and record keeper was
discovered under suspicious circumstances: the finding of the family
property of Lehi in Laban's household possessions, as well as the complete
disappearance of two prominent Jerusalem families.  An alert would have
gone out to every possible location, from the highest quarters of Jerusalem,
to recover the Jewish national heritage: The Brass Plates of Laban.  The
Plates contained the five books of Moses in the original, giving an account
of the creation of the world, and also of Adam and Eve.  There was also a
record of the Jews from the beginning to the commencement of the reign
of Zedekiah, King of Judah.  Lehi could not go due west from Jerusalem,
as there were numerous Jewish colonists in the North African region, part
of Eretz Israel [The Babylonian Talmud, Vol. 8, Seder Nashim, Chapter I,
Gittin, pages 1, 26-27].  Lehi came from Jerusalem, taking a wilderness
escape route, near the Arabian seacoasts, down by the area of the Red Sea.

C.  RECORDS (FARMS): BOOK of MORMON CHRONOLOGY
Peter Martyr d'Anghiera (1456/7-1526), Medieval eyewitness, wrote
De Orbe Novo Decades, of which the Fourth Decade is addressed to
Pope Leo X; included in The Decipherment of Ancient Maya Writings,
c 2001.  Peter Martyr d'Anghiera was of noble descent who, at court,
"served as a preceptor for noble children . . . [in] the Spanish monarchy
. . . and royal chronicler in 1520 . . ."   In the province of Yucatan, "A
large number of this manner of books or notebooks were found by the
conquerors when they entered that province; and certain priests that
entered to preach the holy gospel when that province had just been
conquered burned all or most, . . ."  [Clearly, many early Christian
missionaries destroyed Indian manuscripts in Yucatan and elsewhere.]

"We have said that these people have books, . . . they write upon are
some sheets of a certain thin inner tree bark . . .there is a hard cloth
that separates the outer layers, like nets with holes and narrow mesh,
and they besmear them with a strong pitch.  . . . From little tablets of
fig wood are made the books that the administrators of the great houses
carry with them to the markets, and with a metal bodkin they jot down
what they buy, to erase it when they have transferred it to their account
books. . . ."

"The characters are very different from ours: . . . they greatly resemble
Egyptian forms.  Between the lines are marked out figures of men and
animals, principally of kings and magnates, by which one can believe
that there are there written the deeds of each king's ancestors, as we
see done in our own time, that often in general histories and in fabulous
codices the printers insert figures of those who did what is being recounted,
to stimulate those who might want to buy them."

"Also, the upper tablets are agreeably arranged with wood; when these
books are closed, it appears that they are no different from ours.  Also, it is
believed that they write in their books the laws, sacrifices, ceremonies, rites,
astronomical annotations, and certain computations, and manners and times
of planting."

Tomas Lopez Medel (1509-82), wrote ca. 1565 "And this manner of letters
and writing was not understood unless learned, and it was known only . . . the
priests and some caciques."

 Similar to  the Jews, "They [the priests] taught the sons of other priests,
and the second sons of the lords, who took them for this purpose from childhood,
if they noticed they had an inclination for this profession."   Diego de Landa
"believed that Native American books were tainted by superstition, and he
readily tells how (written ca. 1566) they were burned."

053:   UNIDENTIFIED - POSSIBLE DAUGHTERS

          [THE BIBLICAL TAMAR]

Family of the Unidentified - Possible daughters
of [King] Mattaniah - Zedekiah [The Biblical Tamar]
Kinship is the foundation of the Irish Brehon Law.  This is similar to
Jewish land holding regulations that required a land grant to a servant
to be retained only until the servant's year of liberty; then it reverted
back to the family of the prince.  Irish Kingship includes regulations
going back to holders of the Office of High Priest in ancient Israel.  
In the eyes of the law he must be beyond reproach (innraic), nor could
he be guilty of theft, nor could he have any physical blemish.  Brehon
law has linguistic foundations going back to 1000 B.C.  Animals were
critical to the survival of the clan, both in Ireland and ancient Israel.
Marriage:
 IR to IRELAND suggests the marriage of an accultured Jewish
dynastic princess, into an influential and established Irish Royalty.
It is obvious some creative individual (s) in the past, tried to establish
Biblical connections to Ireland's historical records, using apparent
Irish pedigree names.  The genealogical record is modelled on the
Old Testament genealogies.  External evidence from non Irish sources,
historically compared with ancient Irish pedigree internal evidence,
eliminates earlier biblical Japhetic connections and alters given Irish
chronological frameworks, as noted by John O'Hart:

According to M. Salomon Reinach, a well-known French anthropologist,
(see L'Anthropologie, Vol. X, 1899, page 397), there was in 1000 B.C.
an overland trade in tin between the British Islands and Thrace, or
Macedonia.  Writing
