"I DID see an interesting documentary about an ossuary possibly containing the bones of Jesus' family."
Padraic they dont put entire families in an ossuary it is just a cement box that is used after someone dies.Traditionally after about a year they disenter the body and collect the bones and put them in the ossuary.
Ledo I agree with Padraic I dont like the idea of using the gospels as historical evidence for serious archealogical studies since I too beleive they are nothing more than myths and totally unreliable.
Here is a decent article on the Jesus family tomb:

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
