Mary remained both sinless and a virgin her entire life
Three things in the Bible lead some Protestants to believe that Mary was not ever-virgin: the reference to Jesus' "brothers", the use of the word "until" in Matthew 1:25, and the reference to Jesus as Mary's "firstborn."
The word "brother" or "brethren" is often used in Scripture for relationships other than that of those born of the same parents
if Jesus had brothers and sisters, don't you think their descendants would know it? At least in the first 300 years or so of the Church? Where were they? Did they speak of "Uncle Jesus" often? I'd think that if He had all of these brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews around, there'd have been some word of it.

Mary had step children, but Jesus was the only child she ever gave birth to.
When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place.

The Virgin Mary had no children besides Jesus.
If you're talking about Mary Magdela, then it sounds like you're reading the Da Vinci code. If so, don't. That book is a waste of paper and ink.

There are decendents but I'm not sure anyone has taken the time to trace their family history back that far. I've only traced mine back to 1740 and it took a while.

Doesn't a lineage follow the father not the mother?
Meg M....
"and he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son" (Matthew 1:25)
Firstborn son...not only son. Why would the Bible say first if He wasn't one of many?
Show me one verse in the BIBLE where Joseph had been previously married?
**How is the word 'firstborn' misinterpreted?

What kids? Show me one verse in the Bible that identifies her as the mother of anyone other than Jesus, or anyone other that Jesus as being her child. NOT "brothers and sisters", because those could be children from a previous marriage by Joseph.
