The story of Joachim and Anne first appears in the apocryphal Gospel of James. Joachim and Anne are not mentioned in the Bible.
Joachim not Heli was the father of Mary Jesus did not have any relation to David on his mothers side so therefore he cannot be considered the Messiah
How can you know who was her father? Some things are just unknown. And Heli is meant to be the father of Joseph according to Luke. According to Matthew, it was Jacob.
As for Mary's father, the name is never mentioned, so that's the answer.
