The fact that Matthew and Luke do not agree as to the name of Joseph's father means that they really did not even have this information. Matthew says that Joseph's father was called Jacob, while Luke says Heli. The Bible does not talk about Joseph's mother.
Other considerations:There were 12 different Joseph's in the Bible.
I believe the question may be in reference to the first notable one was Joseph, the son of Jacob and Rachel.
