From WIKIPEDIA:
The brothers of Jesus is a designation based upon the New Testament's description of James, Joseph (Joses), Judas (Jude) andSimon as "brothers" of Jesus Christ. Also mentioned, but not named, are "sisters" of Jesus. Some scholars argue that these brothers, especially James,[1] held positions of special honor in the early Christian church. Antidicomarianites and many critical scholars claim that these "brothers" and "sisters" refer to the biological children of Mary and Joseph. Followers of the Catholic, Eastern Orthodoxand Oriental Orthodox traditions, as well as some Anglicans and Lutherans, accept the doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Mary and therefore reject the claim that Jesus had blood siblings. They maintain that these "brothers" and "sisters" received this designation on account of their close association with the family of Jesus, but are actually either cousins or children of Joseph from a previous marriage.
Perhaps you can Google "Siblings of Jesus Christ" and check some of the other resources.

i.e. Joshua.The Bible says at least 3 of Jesus's deciples were his real brothers. James was one. Forgot the names of the other ones. He had sisters too. It never gave the names of his sisters. It said Mary and her daughters watched his crucifiction from a distance away. John the Baptist was His cousin.
Mary had something like 6--9 children.
