Well I am doing this research project for my youth group and i need to find the genealogy of the apostle Peter. Can anyone tell me it or where to find it….or…..you can tell me where it is in the bible!
Simon (or Symon) "Cephas" (tr. Rocky), son of Jonah (Born about AD 1 in Bethesda, Israel, a town most probably located on the north end of the Sea of Galilee [John 1:14].
Brother: Andrew [John 1:35-42 states that Andrew, originally a disciple of John the Baptist, upon hearing John describe Jesus as the "Lamb of God" brought Peter to Jesus].
Married: the Synoptic Gospels relate how Peter's mother-in-law was healed when Peter was living in Capernaum [Matthew 8:14, Mark 1:29-31, Luke 4:38; see also I Corinthians 9:15]. Clement of Alexandra states that Peter was a father and that his wife also suffered martyrdom.
Occupation: Fisherman [Luke 5:3 states Peter owned his own boat]. Both Peter and Andrew were fishermen [Matthew 4:18-19; Mark 1:16-17].
Later, Peter was a missionary and head of the Church.
Writings: Ist and 2nd Peter in the New Testament.
Death: Rome, Italy, between AD 64 and 67; Margherita Guarducci theorizes that Peter was martyred after the Great Fire of Rome on 13 October AD 64. Tradition holds that he was crucified upside down.
Burial: Beneath St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy.

The only thing in Scripture is that he was Simon bar Jonah which means his father's name was Jonah. I don't think you will find anything else.
