Sts. Joachim and Anne, parents of Mary
At Why isn't Joachim mentioned in Jesus' genealogy? | The New Theological Movement
they say, "Many biblical scholars (we refer especially to Fr. Cornelius a' Lapide) -
have maintained that the genealogy given in Luke is the natural genealogy through Mary,
while that in Matthew is the legal (and regal) genealogy through Joseph."
See also, Why Does Jesus Have Two Different Genealogies (Matthew 1:1-16; Luke 3:23-38)?

[1] Wives listed in Matthew. Matthew selectively picks which wives to list.Four, Tamar (who tricked her father-in-law, Judah, into sleeping with her),
and Bathsheba (who committed adultery with David) are gentiles.
[2] Arni and Admin are listed in Luke but not in some manuscripts.
[3] Names in 1 Chronicles omitted by Matthew. There have been several reasons suggested including: 1. Differences in the Greek Translation of the Bible from which Matthew took his lists. 2. The omitted kings were wicked, accursed or assassinated. 3. A copyist's error. 4. It allowed him to have fourteen generations, a multiple of the perfect number 7, in each of 3 groups.
[4] The 4 names - Joseph, Judah, Simeon and Levi are all names of sons of Jacob.
[5] Matthew changed Asa to Asaph, a psalmist and Amos to Amon, a prophet. (See possible explanation in introduction)
[6] Israel splits into the Southern Kingdom (Judah) Including Jerusalem and the area south. (Tribes of Judah & Benjamin) and the Northern Kingdom (Israel) (other 10 tribes). Asa through Jeconiah were all kings of Judah.
[7] Sarna "Israel in Egypt" and the NIV bible place the Exodus at around 1440 (supported by Kings 6:1 and Judges 11:26) and Solomn's Temple at abt. 960. Ussher proposes dates of 1491 and 1012 respectively. Others propose a date of 1280 for the Exodus based on archaeological evidence that Egyptian cities Pithom and Raamses were rebuilt in the 13th century, probably with Israelite labor.
[8] Godet9, Lange10, and many others take the ground that Luke gives the
genealogy of Mary and Mary was Heli's daughter. Mary's name was omitted
because "ancient sentiment did not comport with the mention of the
mother as the genealogical link".
Smith's Bible Dictionary says that Matthan and Matthat
are the same person and Mary was the daughter of Jacob and Joseph the son
of Heli, making them cousins.

He [Matthew] turns dull genealogy into evangelism and a birth story into a lexicon for the names of the Son of God." He explains how Matthew made minor modifications to the genealogies to teach lessons with them. "Matthew is fascinated by the three stages in Israel's history with fourteen generations each".
