Jesus' ancestry is recorded on both sides of his family although sometimes this is misunderstood. There is diversity because Luke's genealogy goes from Adam through to David while Matthew's starts at Abraham through to David. At this point, the genealogies diverge down through Nathan (representing Mary's side) and then Joseph's ancestry is recorded through Solomon. Mary and Joseph had a common ancestory up until David after which time it diversified.

It does not necessarily make one or the other less 'real', but it does make it much more difficult to close one's eyes to their actual existence.

That is a hard call to make. Both genealogies, that from Matthew and that from Luke, present him as being of entirely Hebrew ancestry, and having no ethnic diversity in his background. The influential New Testament scholar, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) canvasses the possibility of Luke's genealogy being that of Mary, but has little time for those who propose this "despite 3:23!" The clear and apparent discrepancies between the two supposed ancestries caused Brown to say, "there is little likelihood that either is strictly historical," but this neither makes Jesus himself more real nor less so.
