Even today, most Catholics regard Joachim and Anne as the parents of Mary. The Catholic website says, "By tradition Joachim and Anne are considered to be the names of the parents of Mary, the Mother of God. We have no historical evidence, however, of any elements of their lives, including their names. Any stories about Mary's father and mother come to us through legend and tradition." It goes on to say that Anne is the patron saint of Christian mothers and of women in labour.
AnswerYes, the common belief of the Church has always been that Our Blessed Lord's genealogy traced in St. Luke's Gospel (St. Luke 3:23-38) was that of His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, which traces her descend from King David; whereas the lineage traced in St. Matthew's Gospel is that of His foster-father, Joseph.

∙ 7y agoAnother answer from our community:
We really do not have a clear genealogy of Mary. Both Luke and Matthew have genealogies of Jesus and both are different. Could one be the genealogy of Mary and the other of Joseph? If so, which is which? Could one or the other of the two genealogies be in error? Could both be in error? We do not know. I have placed a link below and you can try to make sense of the whole mess yourself. Good luck! If you solve the mystery, please get back to me as I love genealogy and have found several confusing links such as this in my own family tree.

∙ 7y agoAlthough there is no scriptural support for the tradition, Joachim and Anne were said to have been the parents of Mary. Both were canonised by the Catholic Church, and this parentage is still widely accepted. The ancestry of Joachim and Mary is unknown.
As for the genealogies in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical. Quite simply, neither author knew anything about the infancy and ancestry of Jesus, but felt that their readers needed to be told something.
