That depends upon which Joseph you're asking about. According to the book of Matthew (but not according to Luke), Matthan was the grandfather of Jesus and the father of Joseph. This Joseph lived about 2000 years ago and is listed in the book of Matthew as the father of Jesus.
Jacob (Abraham's grandson), who (according to traditional chronology) lived 3600 years ago, had 12 sons, one of whom was named Joseph. This Joseph is spoken about in Genesis, chapters 30, 37, and 39-50.

Matthewsays that Joseph's father was called Jacob, and proceeds to draw a parallel between this Joseph and the Old Testament Joseph, thereby drawing parallels between Jesus and Moses.
