I have been told that no records survived the final destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.

Another problem with this approach... Jesus is blood relative to Mary and "adoptive" son to Joseph. Joseph was the blood relative to David.
Jesus came from the family and lineage of David but, through the work of the Holy Spirit, He was born of a virgin.

Well, here's the thing. If Jesus was from the House of david, the lineage would be patrilineal, leading, ostensibly to Joseph. If, however, The Almighty was his Father, there would have to be some other way to sort this out..
