I am going to study this topic more. I remember learning that it was through Mary and her lineage we should trace. Not only that but the lineage God used was through the females ( God promised Eve that through her seed the world would be saved) and not following the male lineage. For instance we would trace who Marys mother was then her mother then her mother all the way back to Abraham and Sarah. Gods promise of a child was not only to Abram but also Sarah. This is why his child with Hagar was not recognized by God because the promise was also for Sarah.
