Hi both. I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to searching out a good source for you. (a bee stung my wife in the eye and we're waiting in A&E)
I don't remember if we conferred the immediate parents, but Joseph adopted Jesus, but Jesus still inherited his father's title. There was a curse on that lineage so Jesus being adopted solved that. Luke lists Heli as Jesus father, but Heli was in fact Mary's father.
I may have been off with the female thing, but it was definitely a blood thing.
The title/ the fact of royal descent came through Joseph to his adopted son. The genetic link to David came through Mary.
