Besides the fact that DNA from 100 years apart of indirect relatives is a shot in the dark (to wit: that Jefferson nonsense), Jesus was not actually the biological son of Joseph (and hence David). He may only have been the bio son of Mary, whose lineage is, of course being a woman, ignored. In any case, being the actual Son of God, it's possible there is no real DNA to go on, anyway.
I thought Jewish people of that period traced lineage through the mother's side?
